- Lambda cross-check puts Cincinnati margin ≥2 at 20.2%, so NO is 79.8% fair versus a 79c executable NO price; small positive model edge.
- Self-referenced price: without a sharp same-rung handicap, the 0.8-point edge may be model noise; self-reference caps this at LEAN.

- Warehouse model projects 2.84 goals and 53.9% over 2.5. This is partial projection corroboration, not a 3.5 probability.
- The model's 2.84-goal mean does not establish over 3.5; the exact threshold remains high variance.

- xG build: 2.79 total from opponent-adjusted attack/defense blends; press tilt nudges fair total to 2.84.
- Both teams show 10 games with xG; Montréal PPDA 15.08 and Cincinnati 13.86 support only a modest upward adjustment.
- Only 10 xG games per side, so the moderate-sample error bar is wide.
