How the model works
Too few days of history exist to rank any input, so the model holds Wembanyama's MVP chance at its current level and lets a reader add momentum or mean reversion from the market's own recent move.
- With no ranked inputs yet, the market's own recent move carries forward at about 0 in log-odds of its size, so by default it stays where it is. DataSnack's estimate, not yet tested on data.
