database_partial - experimental methodology
HGR v1 calibration methodology
HGR v1 now exports from the imported SQLite database foundation in database_partial mode. Scores are provisional database signals, not a finished all-time model. This methodology currently supports a calibration preview from an incomplete evidence graph, not a production-calibrated all-time ranking. The model is deliberately explainable: strong wins over strong opponents matter more than title collection, and confidence notes are visible where historical records are thinner.
Why not simple Elo?
Simple Elo is useful for fight-day form, but cross-era boxing comparison needs more: incomplete older records, source conflicts, scorecard clarity, ranked opponent value, title inflation, late-career decline and separate peak versus career signals.
HGR v1 uses a chronological Glicko-style pass for fight-day uncertainty and active form, then a batch historical smoothing pass for comparison. Resume score explains why a fighter moved up or down in the experimental preview.
Career and activity logic
Public career spans use rating-eligible professional fights. Exhibitions, celebrity bouts and non-professional contests are stored as context where useful, but they do not extend a retired fighter's pro career span or active score.

Known limitations
- Real imported database exists, but source coverage is incomplete and below final all-time production standards.
- octonion/boxing is a 2015 static bootstrap; Box.Live now supplies a recent men's monitor slice, but this is not a complete 2016-present ledger
- HOF evidence now includes official IBHOF modern/old-timer/pioneer inductee lists plus IWBHF women-specific inductee evidence; HOF status is identity/context evidence, not fight-day rating proof
- Women’s coverage now includes a current compiled ranking page, official IWBHF inductee evidence, women’s lineal title evidence, a WBAN Laila Ali fight-history slice and named WBAN key-fight rows for Laila Ali, Christy Martin, Valerie Mahfood, Holly Holm, Mia St. John, Alicia Ashley, Katie Taylor, Claressa Shields, Jane Couch, Regina Halmich, Ann Wolfe, Gwendolyn O'Neil, Marcela Acuna, Emiko Raika and Lucia Rijker; it still needs broader WBAN/manual fight-history expansion
- Men’s lineal coverage now spans all 17 Lineal Boxing Champion division pages but remains conflict-preserving title evidence, not absolute truth
