The formula, without the lab coat
Estimate (entertainment, not calibrated): round(100 / (1 + exp(-(-2.5 + sum(signal.contribution))))). Each contribution = displayed weight × input. Missing readings contribute 0. Twitch weight 0.4; viewer-spike baseline is a heuristic. Pushes are observed transitions, not total releases.Contributions affect the model score, not percentage points. These odds are an uncalibrated estimate for entertainment.
