Where we actually are vs. where we say we are
Baseline win rate: 47.8%. Target: 66% for 5 consecutive days. Then 30 days hands-off to prove the model sharpens itself without you touching it.
The honest answer: infrastructure is mostly built. That part is done. Model quality work is still ahead. Those are different things.
Not a hedge. Not spin. Just an accurate read of the build stage. You're mid-build. The hard part isn't behind you.
Finishing infrastructure feels like progress because it is. But it's not the same as the model working. Confusing the two is how you celebrate too early.
Where we say we are and where we actually are is the only gap that matters right now. Close that first.
