This is the part most worth understanding, because it is where a model like this usually goes wrong.
There is no training set of companies that failed. There is no industry benchmark being quietly applied to you. The network is trained on answers the engine gives about your own twin.
Training picks a sample of nodes. For each one it runs the simulator twice: once as things are, and once with that node removed or damaged, using the lever that fits it. A customer is lost. A supplier raises its price. A department is eliminated. The difference between the two runs is the true impact of that node, in money, computed by the same equations that produce every other answer in the product. That difference is the label.
So the network is a fast approximation of an expensive calculation you could always have done. It is not a second opinion. If the engine is wrong about your company, the network will be wrong in exactly the same direction, and the honest limits page already says where the engine is weak.
- Labels are produced by running the engine, not by a benchmark
- Risk labels also use what is on the record: status, rating, satisfaction
- Every third labelled node is held back and never trained on
- The held back error is reported against the naive guess, so you can see whether it learned anything
