The House Doctrine

Every score in every chamber is determined by a fixed, version-stamped rubric — never by chance, never by caprice. Every verdict is traceable, dimension by dimension. Every dispute is heard. These are games of demonstrable skill: the dice never decide, because there are no dice.

Wit is measurable. We measure it.
