Model Confidence, Data Tiers and Publication Gates

What do Lean, LIMITED, Insufficient and "gated" each mean?

No-calls are designed

UFC PBE Algo no-call reasons (as published)

Not in scope; bout off the card, changed or already fought; fighter identity not fully reconciled; no live model version; features could not be assembled; latest fight not yet in Fight DNA; a UFC debut; fewer than 20 of 33 features available; too close to call (below 55%); lock window closed.

Every one of these is a case where a number would look precise but be unreliable. Refusing to publish is the honest output.

Why the network works this way

A probability without its evidence invites overconfidence. Tiers, gates and no-calls push the uncertainty onto the screen, where you can see it. Read the label before the number.

Limitations

Tier thresholds and gate criteria are product decisions and can change between model versions. The product's own model card or methodology page is the source of truth for the current rules.
