PRODUCT & RESEARCH NOTES

Methodology and evidence

How FlopForge defines inputs, calculations, quality indicators, caching, and performance evidence.

01

Results depend on inputs

Strategy results apply only to the board, hands or ranges, pot, remaining stacks, action order, bet sizes, and iteration budget shown on the page. Changing an assumption can change the recommendation.

02

Calculation scope

  • When exact enumeration is feasible, equity comes from exact legal-card enumeration.
  • Strategy frequencies are average strategies inside a bounded model; they are not certainty about a real opponent.
  • Quality indicators describe deviation inside the current bounded game and do not prove suitability for every real situation.
03

Performance and cache

Runtime selection depends on browser capabilities. Performance figures apply only to the stated hardware, browser, spot, and quality target. Local cache entries are isolated by configuration, engine version, and validation metadata; a cache hit is not a fresh solve.

04

Reviewability principles

  • No hard-coded strategy is presented as a calculated result.
  • Experimental performance is not presented as a universal speed claim.
  • Unimplemented or unvalidated capabilities are labeled honestly.
