GAME NARRATIVE
ARI A-tier pick hits. Model was directionally correct.
NAILED IT

SITUATIONAL TRENDS
Historical splits, shown for context only. We tested them: picking the situations that beat break-even in training goes 770–760 (50.3%) out of sample, so they are not a betting signal and are not coloured like one.
