What it does

Two rules came from watching it fail: a bare hit probability made Jev pick the alarming number over the accurate one, so the app no longer shows it.

How you can use it

You can adapt this design to build a computer opponent for tabletop board games. First, write down which parts of the game are pure arithmetic and which parts need strategic planning. Your developer can write standard code to list every legal turn and score its immediate costs.

The model only steps in to choose the best strategy from a shortlist. If the model is uncertain or the rest of the match becomes simple counting, your program takes over and picks the move itself.
