# Sam Kienzle — prediction record



## Record

- **Accuracy:** 54.76%
- **MissedTakes Score:** -0.61
- **Graded articles:** 2
- **Graded individual calls:** 7
- **Clarity:** 75%

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.
