• Perform ongoing performance monitoring by comparing forecasts to actual outcomes across multiple horizons (Years 1-3). 

• Track forecast accuracy using standardized error metrics (e.g., NMAD, MAPE), conduct stability testing of stepup factors, and refine methodologies when thresholds are breached. 

• Maintain robust model governance, including comprehensive documentation, version control, approvals, audit readiness, and remediation of identified gaps. 

• Collaborate crossfunctionally with Risk Strategy, Finance, and Analytics partners to align assumptions, present results, obtain leadership signoff, and support knowledge transfer.
