Fortschreibung

English translation: depending on how the plot develops...

Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities / (Urgent) financial article
German term or phrase: Fortschreibung
Context:

Das „Goldilocks Scenario“(...), übertragen auf die Kapitalmärkte, geht darum, dass immer alles gerade richtig temperiert ist:
Die Konjunktur läuft nicht heiß, ebenso wenig die Inflation, die Geldpolitik begleitet und temperiert wo es sein muss.
Je nach Fortschreibung tauchen dann aber am Ende dieses Märchens allerdings drei Bären auf.

The author goes on to say that it is a fact that we are at a late stage of the economic growth cycle and, although key indicators have moved up recently, first signs of weakness are beginning to show.

I am unsure about the meaning of "Je nach Fortschreibung" here.
I think it may mean "forward projection", what do you think?

Many thanks in advance for your suggestions!

what scenario pans out


Explanation:
Depending on what scenario pans out, three bears could be lurking at the end
or
No matter what scenario pans out, three bears will be lurking at the end.

Compare with this:

"The three bears are lurking in the shape of monetary policy
mistakes, trade wars, or even just plain investor flight." https://corporateandinvestment.standardbank.com/standimg/cib...
"
In keeping with the Goldilocks theme, we’ll point out three potential pitfalls, or bears, worth watching: an economic slowdown, a domestic political implosion, or a geopolitical blowup. None appear to be imminent, but either of the latter two could appear suddenly." https://www.advisorperspectives.com/commentaries/2017/06/11/...

agree  philgoddard: I didn't know Goldilocks was an economic concept - it's also used in astronomy.

  -> Fair enough. But to me, that's already accepted usage. I am not gong to wait around until the dictionaries reach the same conclusion.

agree  Björn Vrooman: IMO, "depending on" is clumsy (true of both answers, though), but either "plot" or "story" is good. Scenario isn't (cf 1st line). Great 1st para.:https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-says-stock-markets...

agree  Lancashireman: Good solution to avoid the repetition of scenario.
