Frozen 2026-08-29T20:59:03.635043-05:00 · Snapshot 1 · Home win probability 0.8185 · 80% margin interval -4.8 to 28.5.

Provisional calibration: real-season accuracy is not established.

Model configuration used

Configuration: Legacy (created before revision tracking)
Engine version: 3.6.0-bounded-insane-controls
Evidence cutoff: Aug 26, 2026 · 9:47 PM CDT

Factors unavailable across the whole snapshot are excluded. Their weight is redistributed among available factors, so the effective model can differ from the configured sliders. Missing evidence for just one team remains neutral. The tables show saved weights; omitted factors are not reconstructed from current model settings.

These values came from this immutable run, not the model’s current settings.

The complete selected factor list was not retained for this older run. Omitted factors cannot be reconstructed reliably.

Missing team data was represented neutrally in the calculation; it was not a measured neutral result. Measured equal or offsetting inputs can also have zero effect.

This is the exact saved prediction. Current model settings and current prediction selection are not used here.
