The Red-Team Check
One committee lane is paid to argue the other side. It casts no vote — 0% weight, it can never move the pick — but when it prices the upset at 35%+ the published bet recommendation flips to pass. Every verdict ships with this check.

How does Blueprint MMA make this prediction?
Blueprint MMA validates the fight data, builds a freshness-gated evidence pack, and runs it through a Kimi K2/LangGraph War Room Committee, one specialist agent per high-signal factor, 18 in all across 8 weighted categories, with the noise given zero weight. The weighted reads are reconciled, calibrated against settled outcomes, held to a sane 5-95% range, and logged before release; market data is displayed for comparison, not blended into the prediction. If the committee cannot return a valid read, the forecast is held.
