The Calls
A score is an opinion about now. A call is a claim about later — and unlike an opinion, a claim can be wrong. Every call I make is written down at the checkpoint I made it, resolved automatically against the checkpoint it named, and shown here whether it landed or not.
This is the only part of the site that can prove whether my read on a series is worth your time. It can also prove the opposite.
Counts, not a percentage. 7 calls is not a sample, and dressing it up as a score would be the exact thing this site exists to avoid.

hits and misses interleaved — a ledger with the misses hidden is worthlessThe writing catches the art — Solid Roll by my ch 30 checkpoint.
This reaches Solid Roll at my ch 45 checkpoint.
Reaches Solid Roll at my ch 55 checkpoint.
Still above 70 at my ch 60 checkpoint.
Reaches 70 at my ch 80 checkpoint.
Clears 85 at my ch 120 checkpoint.
The rules
- Falsifiable only. "This clears 80 at my next checkpoint" is a call. "This will end badly" is not.
- Every call names its resolution point — a specific future checkpoint. Open-ended predictions don't count.
- Resolution is mechanical. The build compares the named checkpoint against the target. I never decide whether a call hit; the data does. That's what stops a miss being quietly reframed as a near-miss.
- Misses carry the same weight as hits and sit in the same list, interleaved by date.
- At least one call per series I start. Otherwise I'd only call on series I was confident about, and the record would flatter me without ever technically lying.
- Voids are marked, never quietly deleted. A series that goes on indefinite hiatus makes a call genuinely undecidable, and that's recorded rather than removed.
