No decisive linked signal
This is a bounded inference from the current annotations—not a claim about private effort, merit, or the percentage of Pavle Jurina's outcome attributable to any origin.
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, Pavle Jurina's starting-advantage total is at the 38th percentile. Separately, their built or converted leverage total is at the 58th percentile. Other T3 profiles average 7.0 / 24 starting advantage and 11.7 / 25 leverage. Similar scores appear in other tiers, so these figures describe positioning—not a cause.
