How to Set Solver Inputs: Boundaries, Scale, and Limits

Short Answer

Choose the question first, then tree, then output. Outputs are only meaningful within the problem boundary.

Setup order

1. Define the exact task: position, SPR, opponent type, and action set.
2. Fix tree size: node depth and allowed bet sizes.
3. Set input bounds: initial ranges and assumptions.
4. Use only reproducible cases for conclusions.

Confidence band

Track stability, not just raw output. If small boundary changes cause extreme swings, reduce abstraction scope before applying.

Common misuse

Using solver as universal truth or applying deep offline conclusions to edge live one-offs is usually harmful.
