The Model Lab The cohort model, shown step by step: how a 17-year-old's season becomes a projection, and where that projection gets thin. Open the lab → The Ledger The model's public record: its calls, its disagreements with the board, and the corrections it learned from being wrong. Read the ledger → What a pick is worth The measured 200-game hit rate for all 224 draft slots, not a chart from somewhere else, computed from the record here. See the curve →
