  • Rule 8 check passed: raw model 54.9% vs de-vigged market 56.5%: 1.6-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 55.7% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).

The close is the last pre-first-pitch capture. Movement toward a side after we post is the fastest honest read on pick quality — see the CLV column on the ledger.

No stake rode on this game. The lean and its failed gates above are the whole position: passing is a position too.
