Ideas, made
tangible.

I turn curiosity into things you can use.

Interactive products. Experiments with data. A little design, a lot of figuring it out.

READ THE NUMBER CORRECTLY

Estimates apply to the exact threshold shown. They are experimental and uncalibrated, assume the player is active with an ordinary workload, and are not guarantees.

How the research works +

Two clearly labeled methods

The October 11 archive preserves the original analyst scenarios. New scheduled editions use a separate four-game baseline derived from THE.PREDICTOR’s research. The baseline does not reproduce the manual scouting adjustments.

Game leans rank by projected score separation, with a three-point minimum. Player picks rank by estimated probability at the displayed threshold, with one selection per player.

Evidence before certainty

Only earlier completed games are used. Incomplete player histories are excluded. Chosen distribution assumptions are not calibrated confidence. Injuries, current lineups, and changing roles remain limitations.

The historical geometry experiment did not pass its improvement tests and is not promoted here. The web baseline has no completed out-of-sample validation period or measured hit rate to report.

AIDAN NILE ROOT / APPROACH

Curiosity is
the starting point.

I’m interested in the space between an idea and a working thing.

My work brings together design, code, data, and AI-assisted development. The goal is to make something useful—and make the thinking behind it visible.
