Stack resolved probability forecasts

Fit convex weights to frozen probability forecasts on chronological training history and require bootstrap-validated log-loss improvement over the training-selected best component on future outcomes.

What it's for

Lets Gitrevio combine deadline, incident, and execution-risk models only when the ensemble proves better out of time.

What you get back

This is the actual output of running the example above — computed by the same function the platform calls, not an illustration.

How it works

Forecasting & survival — Estimate when something completes or fails, with censoring and unresolved work handled honestly rather than dropped.

  1. 1 Fit convex weights to frozen probability forecasts on chronological training history and require bootstrap-validated log-loss improvement over the training-selected best component on future outcomes.
  2. 2 Evaluate the method-specific diagnostics and gates returned by the function, then abstain unless the declared decision clears them under locally governed thresholds.

Before you trust it

Every tool in the catalog ships with the conditions under which its answer is meaningful — and the conditions under which it should abstain instead of guessing.

Assumptions & guardrails

  • Training examples precede their outcomes, censoring and unresolved work are represented, and deployment populations remain comparable to validation cohorts.
  • A predictive interval or risk estimate is not a deadline promise, causal explanation, or individual-performance judgment.

Minimum evidence

  • observations: at least 200 rows/items
  • model_names: at least 2 rows/items

How to validate it

Use chronological train/calibration/test windows, compare proper scores and decision value with a simple baseline, and recalibrate only from outcomes resolved after prediction time.

Calibrating it to your org

Same for everyone

The mathematical kernel, validation rules, method version, and JSON output semantics are organization-independent; no tenant-trained coefficients or company benchmark is embedded in the function.

Specific to you

  • immutable model probability joined to one common binary resolution
  • chronological evaluation period
  • event and forecast horizon definition
  • eligible model set
  • minimum held-out log-loss improvement

Calibration workflow

  1. 1 Define the management decision, target outcome, aggregate unit, privacy boundary, cadence, and prediction/intervention horizon for this organization.
  2. 2 Build a tenant-scoped historical cohort using only information available before each prediction or decision; preserve zero periods, censoring, assignment probabilities, and unresolved outcomes when the method requires them.
  3. 3 Estimate statistical parameters on training history, but obtain costs, utilities, risk tolerance, practical-effect thresholds, capacity, and policy constraints from accountable decision owners.
  4. 4 Validate on later time windows or held-out aggregate units at the deployment grain, against a simple baseline and the function-specific validation strategy.
  5. 5 Deploy only if the returned decision clears evidence, overlap, calibration, robustness, and guardrail checks; warning, unsupported, schema-gap, and fallback decisions are abstentions.
  6. 6 Monitor realized outcomes, data drift, coverage, and decision regret; recalibrate at a governed cadence or after a detected regime/definition change, never merely because a stakeholder dislikes the result.

Call it from your AI

You don't wire up 388 tools in your MCP client. The GitRevio MCP server exposes 18 tools, three of which let an agent search the catalog, read a tool's schema, and run it — so the assistant finds this one on its own.

gitrevio_capabilities_search
  { "q": "fit convex weights to frozen probability" }
  → finds "stack_resolved_probability_forecasts"

gitrevio_capability_describe
  { "capability_id": "stack_resolved_probability_forecasts" }
  → returns the input schema and agent guidance shown on this page

gitrevio_capability_run
  { "capability_id": "stack_resolved_probability_forecasts", "arguments": { ... } }
  → returns the result shown above

Works in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue.dev, Goose and Aider. See the MCP server.
