# Doug "D-Mac" McKain — prediction record ## Is Doug "D-Mac" McKain accurate? Across 4 graded calls in 4 articles, Doug "D-Mac" McKain scores 93.46% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 92.75, 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:** 93.46% - **MissedTakes Score:** 92.75 - **Graded articles:** 4 - **Graded individual calls:** 4 - **Clarity:** 88.24% - **Hedged:** 35.29% 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.
