Why this rank
Labeled lower-confidence rankingEstimated
This ranking uses trader fit with estimated model inputs. Numeric output can run, but at least one input is an explicit assumption or legacy fallback rather than confirmed ordinary public evidence.
Informational comparison from ordinary public product/help/rule material. Missing public values stay visible as blockers instead of being treated as neutral.
Primary model note: rankings prioritize rule-derived difficulty, economic friction, constraints, and trader fit from ordinary public product/rule evidence; EV/pass probability are secondary scenario comparison estimates.
