HM Holdem Method

Methodology & sources

Trust is a boundary, not a badge.

Holdem Method separates what the rules engine proves, what a benchmark supports, and what remains an approximation. A future strategy data set must carry its version, assumptions, rights, and review status before it can become product authority.

Benchmark strategy

A versioned project baseline with a defined scope and source.

Approximate analysis

A transparent heuristic with assumptions, samples, and uncertainty.

Solver data

Only when the solver, parameters, coverage, version, and license are verifiable.

What this first Rails milestone proves

  • • Rails boots with SQLite and exposes a health endpoint.
  • • Vite owns the JavaScript entrypoint and React can mount in the page.
  • • Tailwind owns the Rails reading surface without external font or analytics dependencies.
  • • The poker engine is not duplicated in Ruby; its migration remains the next gated milestone.
