1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) device and from a commissioning network function, an analytic information request for analytic event information;
generating, by the NWDAF device, an analytic report that is responsive to the analytic information request;
generating, by the NWDAF, a unique analytic report identifier for the analytic report;
sending, by the NWDAF device and to the commissioning network function, the analytic report with the unique analytic report identifier; and
receiving, by the NWDAF device and after the sending, a feedback event message from the commissioning network function, wherein the feedback event message includes:
the unique analytic report identifier,
a change description for a policy change implemented by the commissioning network function in response to the analytic report, and
a quantitative influence level value of the analytic report in relation to the commissioning network function triggering the policy change.
