One of the forecasters below is making a bad decision which could lower the quality of the revenue baseline they forecast. Which one is it?

A. Jamiya Forecaster decides to consult appropriate accountants and lawyers involved in the collection/administration of the tax as part of the forecasting process, even though she is an economist in a different part of the government

B. Jacinta Forecaster decides to simply plot past revenue data against time as an early step for a given tax, to see what patterns might emerge or whether any odd data-points might need more investigation before detailed methods of forecasting into the future are attempted.

C. Jacob Forecaster decides it would be easiest to forecast all types of tax revenue lumped together as a single aggregate, instead of considering individual tax types separately in forecasts and then summing to get the overall forecast revenue baseline

D. Jerel Forecaster decides to spend some extra time ensuring sure they understand the way a specific tax is assessed and collected before attempting to forecast it
