Prediction & Due Process

A probabilistic forecast exists.

Any motive, character or future-risk conclusion beyond the directly observed facts must remain explicitly labeled as inference.

What specific current conduct exists? Is the model calibrated? Which factors are causal versus proxies? Is the score being mistaken for evidence?
