Frequently Asked Questions

Blueprint MMA's War Room Committee picks Ryan Gandra with a 55% win probability.
What could change the outcome of Zachary Reese vs Ryan Gandra?
Grappling exposure unknown: Gandra has no recorded takedown attempts faced in his career; if Reese secures an early clinch, the fight's location distribution shifts dramatically.

Control time collapse: Reese's wrestling efficiency has dropped in recent outings, and without sustained top control his submission path narrows.
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.
