Stable vocabulary keeps the reports, glossary, and Oracle responses aligned across the product.

Why Definitions Are Infrastructure

Definitions are not copywriting; they are the contract between data, UI, and model responses.

If terms drift, comparisons drift. If comparisons drift, learning and automation both break.

Semantic Consistency Across Surfaces

Stepzero keeps metric names and meanings stable across reports, glossary pages, and Oracle responses.

  • Same term, same formula, same assumptions.
  • Era-aware context attached to each definition where needed.
  • Diagnostic fields mapped to glossary vocabulary.

Foundation for Future Expansion

As new jurisdictions and games are onboarded, consistent definitions prevent semantic fragmentation.

That keeps the learning system coherent as coverage scales.

Oracle Query Starters

  • Define drought leader and multiplier for this system.
  • Show definition consistency across jurisdictions.
  • What assumptions are attached to the diagnostic term for AZ-FANTASY5 analysis?
