From the https://phys.org/ site, an Astronomy article entitled ...
A new method for predicting the 11-year solar cycle strength
by Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology - July 1 2022

"Scientists from Skoltech and their colleagues from the University of Graz & the Kanzelhöhe Observatory (Austria), Hvar Observatory (Croatia), and the Belgian Solar-Terrestrial Center of Excellence—SILSO, Royal Observatory of Belgium presented a new method to predict the strength of the 11-year solar cycle."

They are predicting Cycle 25 to be at least as good as the last one.
I was able to work 250 entities on both 10 and 12 meters during Cycle 24.

I read the original published article in addition to the news release. The method is linking the growth rate of SSs to a subsequent cycle’s amplitude. This is prediction without explanation, not much of an advance. Scott McIntosh and I discuss the fallacies of this “teleology” in the cover story of this month’s RadCom magazine.
