Calibration

Every other screen here makes a claim about your future. This one checks whether those claims have been holding up — by standing at points in your past, forecasting forward from only what was knowable then, and comparing against what actually happened.

Verdict

The bands are overconfident

Reality escapes the outer band more often than it should. The forecast is understating how uncertain it really is, which is the failure mode that actually hurts people. Treat the numbers as directional until this closes.

Band width is the p05–p95 spread as a share of the starting balance. Narrower is better — but only while coverage holds. Anyone can be perfectly calibrated by predicting somewhere between bankrupt and rich.
