What no quiz can recover

Luck acts across the entire path

Luck is not a fifth score. It changes the transitions between starting position, capability, trajectory, and outcome—and this successful-only dataset cannot estimate its size.

Structural luck

Birthplace, era, family, geography, institutions, and being near the right frontier.

Encounter luck

Meeting a collaborator, mentor, coach, investor, selector, or first customer.

Event luck

An algorithm boost, market shock, competitor failure, injury avoided, or unexpected opening.

Outcome variance

Similar visible inputs can still produce different results for reasons the record cannot recover.
