## Record

- **Accuracy:** 56.18%
- **MissedTakes Score:** 6.44
- **Graded articles:** 11
- **Graded individual calls:** 61
- **Clarity:** 97.14%

LIMITED SAMPLE: between 10 and 29 graded articles. Treat with caution.

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.
