I don't plan to make any changes for calculating RDM based on cost when that change comes in. The main value of the tool is for looking at EQM as a means to plan for elite qualification. In that case, being able to look forward is useful. For RDM, I think that the AA webpage (which will show things as they are accumulated) should be sufficient. I don't see it as something with a high value in prediction.
