I think "assess/evaluate" is the right verb here - even successful projects need to be studied to see what can be improved, what can be added etc.; "appreciate" seems too vague in this context, which is discussing how plans can be used.

Explanation:
I had exactly the same term this morning and in the end I translated 'valorizar' as 'appreciate, as in 'appreciate the value'.

Although it could mean 'assess', I think that because the experiences are already considered successful and, therefore, don't need to be assessed, it's saying that their value has to be appreciated.

Another way of putting it is 'understanding the value'.

Explanation:
This is very much an assumption, but it seems logical.

Pilot experiences are used to gauge what will be successful experiences.
