In Q2 2021 QRC, the planner get the possibility to save forecasts for past periods into a private version of the planning mod el. The planner
can:

makes comparisons with actual values and have an idea of their precision

makes his own computations to estimate the quality of the predictive model.
In conclusion, this help planners to increase their trust in predictive forecasts
In this example, the planner has in the planning story the results of the predictive model and he can compare with the actuals.
