Overcut Threat
P(staying out longer beats the car ahead's stop), when in range.
How it works
The staying-out side of the strategy coin: scoring whether track position is better defended by extending the stint.
Inputs
- gap dynamics
- tyre state differential
- circuit pit loss
Output
drivers[].threat.overcutViability flag and pSuccess for the live duel. Absent on a lap with no duel — the model is conditional and prices nothing without a rival ahead inside the 15-lap window.
overcutProbabilityThe same served number, retained per lap on the analytics row and exposed via /insights (full-ML tier).
overcutRivalNumberCar number of the rival the probability is against. A P(beat) with no named opponent is uninterpretable, so the two are written together or not at all.
