Forward-line and defensive-pair Deployment Confidence use one shared, versioned 0–100 evidence heuristic. It is not a probability, a skater confirmation, or proof the unit will stay together all game. Historical and PP role estimates remain separately labelled. Outcome calibration in Brain Station is pending.
