RESEARCH STANDARDS

Evidence before claims.

KarmaEdge keeps exploratory model work, verified market observations, and customer-ready output in distinct states. Missing evidence stays missing.

THE BOUNDARY

How research becomes eligible for display

Research

Explore

Candidate features and model outputs remain internal or clearly labeled until their inputs, identity joins, chronology, and methodology are documented.

Validation

Test

Frozen out-of-sample evidence, leakage checks, data provenance, calibration, and comparison baselines are reviewed without lowering publication gates.

Customer-ready

Publish cautiously

Only supported fields with legitimate data, freshness, rights, and access state may appear. A projection is an estimate, not a guarantee.

FAIL-CLOSED BY DESIGN

What KarmaEdge does not infer

Unavailable schedules, markets, injuries, personnel, images, provider data, or outcomes are never fabricated. Empty and disabled products show a truthful unavailable state. Live Odds and Live Trends remain free market-information surfaces; model and Prop Lab availability depends on their separate evidence and entitlement gates.
