Integrating Forecasting with Gaming: Constructing an Analytic Framework for Resolution Benefit

In this paper, authors discover how integrating structured forecasting methodologies inside gaming, tabletop workout routines, and different scenario-based analytic video games can strengthen decisionmaking, studying, and strategic evaluation inside U.S. protection and different nationwide safety organizations. The authors draw on findings from earlier RAND analysis efforts and different related educational work targeted on wargaming, forecasting, and analytic studying to suggest an interoperability framework that hyperlinks the narrative and experiential strengths of gaming with the rigor and empirical validation supplied by means of probabilistic forecasting. The authors display how forecasting strategies can improve present wargaming practices by advancing measurement, calibration, and evaluability inside the broader wargaming enterprise. This dialogue additionally situates forecasting inside ongoing skilled debates that body wargaming as an artwork, science, and disciplined craft, connecting artistic design with clear analytic follow.
