# Hondo Carpenter — prediction record

Hondo Carpenter covers the Las Vegas Raiders for Sports Illustrated, filing detailed dispatches from training camp and joint practices. His reports track roster battles, depth chart movement, and the daily rhythms of a team preparing for the regular season.

## Record

- **Accuracy:** 100%
- **MissedTakes Score:** 40
- **Graded articles:** 5
- **Graded individual calls:** 7
- **Clarity:** 87.5%

PROVISIONAL: fewer than 10 graded articles. This number is not yet meaningful, and they are excluded from leaderboards.

The MissedTakes Score is how much better than a naive baseline they did, not how often they were right. Zero means no better than a strategy requiring no knowledge. A record is counted in ARTICLES rather than individual calls, because thirty picks in one mock draft is one act of judgment rather than thirty.
