# Ryan Tracy — prediction record ## Record - **Accuracy:** 35.26% - **MissedTakes Score:** 42.98 - **Graded articles:** 9 - **Graded individual calls:** 25 - **Clarity:** 95.24% 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.
