Inside the Pro read

  1. Match the benchmark

    Use the same market, quoted line, price and pregame window as the model output.

  2. Respect the coverage boundary

    Keep unmatched games and mixed game phases visible when judging a historical result.

  3. Set the evidence bar

    Require game-level uncertainty, season stability and future confirmation.
