How we fixed Sentinel's 15× miscalibration in one afternoon

The forecast was telling journalists "5% risk in Iran" when the actual incident rate was 65%. We refit isotonic regression on 810 live (predicted, observed) pairs from sentinel_outcomes. Brier dropped 0.59 → 0.22; Iran's forecast jumped from 0.15 to 0.74.
