What is calibration? A well-calibrated model's stated confidence matches reality. If we say 80% confidence, those picks should win about 80% of the time.

What is the Brier Score? It measures the accuracy of probabilistic predictions. A score of 0 is perfect; 0.25 is no better than a coin flip. Lower is better.

The diagonal line on the chart represents perfect calibration. Points above the line mean we're underconfident (actual wins exceed predicted); points below mean we're overconfident.
