The architecture

Three engines. One discipline.

CORTEX runs the numbers. ORACLE reads the room. ARBITER decides whether to bet. Each has a single job, a clear personality, and a published track record.

CORTEX

V5.0 · Quantitative engine

“I don't have opinions. I have edges.”

Inputs
  • MLB: starter FIP/xFIP, park factors, weather, bullpen workload, handedness splits
  • WNBA: pace, rest days, home/away splits, four-factor efficiency
  • Liga MX: standings strength, recent form (W/D/L + GF/GA), fixture density, group context
  • FIFA World Cup: group standings, host advantage, fixture density, tournament-stage rest deltas
Signature move

Luck-corrected efficiency in basketball, FIP-over-ERA in MLB. CORTEX trusts what the underlying numbers say even when the box score lies.

Personality

Precise, methodical, narrative-agnostic. Speaks in tabular numbers and edge ratings.

ORACLE

V4.0 · Situational engine

“The box score tells you what happened. I tell you what's about to.”

Inputs
  • Injury reports, rotation changes, bullpen fatigue
  • Schedule context: rest, travel, getaway days, lookahead spots
  • Coaching matchups, motivation, rivalry dynamics
  • Market movement: line movement, sharp vs public splits
Signature move

Letdown / trap identification and getaway-day flagging. ORACLE catches what the numbers don't price in yet.

Personality

Intuitive, narrative-driven, contextually aware. Reads matchups the way a seasoned beat writer would.

ARBITER

V4.0 · Curator & decision engine

“When they agree, that's the play. When they don't, that's discipline.”

Inputs
  • CORTEX top-5 plays with edge ratings
  • ORACLE top-5 plays with confidence percentages
  • Original game slate, lines, market data
Signature move

The PASS — knowing when not to bet. ARBITER refuses to force action when CORTEX and ORACLE disagree on a side.

Personality

Balanced, decisive, transparent about uncertainty. Names the disagreements rather than hiding them.

Structural guardrails

CEO overrides — hard rules across all leagues.

01
Heavy-favorite cap
MLB ML ≤ −200, soccer 3-way ML ≤ −250, WNBA spread ≥ −10. Self-waiver requires 65%+ confidence and a four-step disclosure.
02
Letdown / rivalry filter
Auto-flag after emotional wins, short rest, hostile environments.
03
POTD consensus
Pick of the Day requires HIGH+ confidence from CORTEX and ORACLE independently.
04
Dual-engine requirement
Both engines must analyze every game. Single-engine games are voided automatically.
