Conditional prior baseline

Last updated

The launch baseline that SN21 miners must beat to earn emissions in an epoch. Per episode it is the historical mean actual outcome for the same (campaign_type, action_type) over a rolling training window; per epoch a miner’s mean episode score must exceed this baseline or emissions are zero regardless of rank. The conditional prior is harder to game than a literal predict-zero floor (which trivial heuristics can clear) and forces measurable improvement over a transparent historical average. The baseline shifts toward platform system estimates as operator-managed episodes grow as a share of the pool; any change is announced ≥ 4 weeks ahead. Authoritative spec: SN21_REWARD_MECHANISM.md §"Component 1 — Participation gate".
