This is a bounded inference from the current annotations—not a claim about private effort, merit, or the percentage of Angelina Jolie's outcome attributable to any origin.
Luck is not a leftover score.Structural luck, Encounter luck, Event luck, Outcome variance can change every arrow in the path. This successful-only dataset cannot observe the near-identical paths that did not break through, so luck stays visible and unscored.
