Anna Dogonadze's leverage provenance
Each non-zero lever gets a best-supported origin, evidence signals, and confidence. Unresolved is the honest default when the biography cannot distinguish self-built, advantage-enabled, earned, external, or mixed.

A structural wave is external to the person, even when their position improved access to it.
Frontier geography (1/2)
This is a bounded inference from the current annotations—not a claim about private effort, merit, or the percentage of Anna Dogonadze'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.
Within Athletes, Anna Dogonadze's starting-advantage total is at the 79th percentile. Separately, their built or converted leverage total is at the 80th percentile. Other T2 profiles average 7.9 / 24 starting advantage and 12.3 / 25 leverage. Similar scores appear in other tiers, so these figures describe positioning—not a cause.

Evidence summary
Dogonadze was introduced to trampoline by her grandmother as a toddler and benefited from the Soviet Union's elite gymnastics pipeline. She won World Championship team gold at 17 in 1990. After the Soviet collapse, she competed for Georgia before moving to Germany in 1998, where she continued her career at the highest level. Her early childhood immersion in trampoline through the Soviet system was the dominant advantage, with no documented family financial resources.
