Model accuracy
Every night the site checks the best crafts — 200 regular and 50 knife ones — against live Steam market lots: can the contract be put together now, and will it stay in profit.
A bar is the share confirmed on the night of the check; a blue line at the base is 0%; a grey mark is a night without a share (nothing to count), not a zero.

A craft is confirmed if, on the night of the check, three conditions hold at once:
- enough lots for a contract — the market has the required number of inputs;
- the promised float is reached — these lots make a contract with the float the calculation promised;
- profit on live lots above zero — at these lots' prices, after the Steam fee.
Only crafts in profit by the calculation count toward the share: it answers whether the promised profit comes true. Crafts in the red by the calculation promise nothing — we check them too, but show them on a separate row.
Crafts marked “profit on a price without deals” are left out of the share: their profit rests on a price nobody has bought at, and live input lots cannot check that. How many would be confirmed together with them — in the last row of the table.
Target: the launch plan — the nightly check confirms at least 50% of the top crafts.
The market listings change every hour: lots are bought and new ones are listed. This is a night-time snapshot — during the day the same craft may come together better or worse. Look at a run of nights, not at one.
When few crafts are counted, one craft moves the share a lot — that is why the percentage always comes with “how many of how many”.
