HOW TO READ THE EVIDENCE
A clean-looking number can still answer the wrong question. Our goal is to show what each number covers, where it came from, and what remains incomplete.
Played
The full real-world session, including play that may not appear in usable footage. A played total is used only when supported by an appropriate source.
Recorded
The portion preserved in source footage. Missing recording coverage is shown as a gap or coverage percentage, never filled with invented spin rows.
Analyzed
The recorded material processed by the analyzer. Analyzer output is detected data, not automatically the final word.
Reviewed
The recorded material checked by a human reviewer. Review status is separate from whether a page is approved for publication.
Detected, corrected, and authoritative values
Detected values are machine-generated observations. Corrected values are attributable human corrections that preserve the earlier value and reason. Authoritative full-session totals describe the whole session only when a suitable source supports them; they do not create details for unrecorded play.
Observed session RTP is not theoretical RTP
Observed session return to player (RTP) summarizes a specific, declared population of play. It can swing widely in a short session. Theoretical RTP is a sourced configuration-level claim about long-term behavior. One does not prove the other, and neither predicts the next result.
Incomplete footage is useful evidence when it is labeled honestly. Hiding the gap would make the result easier to read—and harder to trust.
These definitions are an editorial reading guide. They do not turn partial footage into a complete record or make any individual result predictive.
