The whole "point" of story points is that they are meaningless until after something has been actually accomplished. After working for a few weeks, it's pretty easy to say something along the lines of "the team got 52 points finished and deployed last week" - this is useful to know, and over time you'll develop an intuition that may be useful for forecasting what's likely to get done over the next few weeks or months on this particular project with this particular team. That's it, that's the most you can do. Most of the other stuff people try to do is so noisy that it makes for nice spreadsheets of the "plan" but bears very little resemblance to reality.
