# Bakari Sellers — prediction record



## Is Bakari Sellers accurate?

Across 6 graded calls in 2 articles, Bakari Sellers scores 100% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 57.25, which means their calls were better than a naive guess on the same claims. That is a provisional record, fewer than ten graded articles, so the numbers are not yet meaningful and they are not ranked on the leaderboard.

## Record

- **Accuracy:** 100%
- **MissedTakes Score:** 57.25
- **Graded articles:** 2
- **Graded individual calls:** 6
- **Clarity:** 100%
- **Hedged:** 0% of claims
- **Right when hedging:** not enough data
- **Right when committing:** not enough data

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.
