MATCHDAY MODEL RECAP

Friday Model vs. Market: The Blind Date Test

2026-08-14Model vs. MarketAuto-generated

Friday's quality gate found zero qualifying non-MLB model-versus-market comparisons. No model probability, no-vig market probability, or gap is printed without aligned fixture identity, timing, and known market coverage.

Arsenal FC v Coventry City FC is scheduled for August 21 and carries a 79% model snapshot, but the configured export says no market to compare against. There is no official fixture-safe market-snapshot ledger, while legacy caches are stale or cannot establish orientation and book count.

Rating, form, home advantage, schedule context, and competition adjustments remain explanatory context rather than proof. Rating and form can overlap, so they are not treated as independent confirmation when the market side is missing.
