Does a data approach actually beat guessing?
This is the question that matters, and the only honest way to answer it is to keep score. TCGIndex logs every pick its model flags with an entry price and a date, then follows it to a resolution, with nothing quietly deleted. The resolved Pokémon record currently sits at a 69% hit rate across 117 resolved picks since inception. That is not a promise of future results, and roughly one pick in four still goes the wrong way, but it is measurable proof that a disciplined read on price and momentum has an edge over vibes. The full, continuously-updated record is on the track record page.
