Read the explanation

Saved target critic rating ninety-four times weight thirty percent contributes twenty-eight point two. Source two-or-more streak receives assigned score one hundred, multiplied by momentum weight thirty-five percent contributes thirty-five. Bars compare at fifteen pixels per score point. Historical streak and ratings are source inputs, not verified award records. Target weighted score combines critic ninety-four, streak one hundred, buzz eighty-eight and studio ninety with weights thirty, thirty-five, twenty-five and ten. Their sum divided by total weight one hundred gives ninety-four point two. Bars compare composite and stored buzz score eighty-eight at six pixels per point. Assigned scores do not measure actual voting probabilities. At exact default weights the source directly assigns probability label eighty-nine point four rather than evaluating its alternate softmax. Bars compare this assigned percentage and composite score ninety-four point two, explicitly distinct quantities on a common numeric scale. This is not confirmation of a winner or a calibrated probability. Current full raw export/reset/native resize/first-footer proof is separate from historical or predictive validity.
