Model transparency

How the model's weights changed over time.

Every time the weekly optimizer runs, it logs the proposed weights, the out-of-sample AUC, and whether the result actually shipped. This is that record — straight from the optimizer's audit trail, not a marketing recap.

Optimizer runs logged

The optimizer fits an L2 logistic regression on every scored matchup, then proposes new weights. A run only ships if its AUC lift clears the guardrail and it doesn't lose home runs in the top-N capture check — so most runs are logged as proposed, not applied. The per-feature deltas below compare each shipped version against the previous shipped version.
