Method
Closed-loop learning
Let every outcome make the next decision sharper.
Closed-loop learning explained
What it is
Closed-loop learning feeds actuals, forecast error and decision outcomes back into the models and decision rules.
Why it matters
Systems that never learn from their mistakes repeat them; the value is in how fast the system notices it is wrong and recovers.
Where planning teams fail
Forecasts and decisions are made, but outcomes are rarely fed back systematically, so the same errors recur.
How RabbitHawk applies it
RabbitHawk measures outcomes against goals and recalibrates each cycle, improving decision quality over time.
