Grade

The bucket a decision falls into: Best, Correct, Inaccuracy, Wrong or Blunder.

What it means
Every decision gets one of five grades. When EV data exists the grade comes from EV loss; otherwise it comes from how often GTO takes the action you chose.
How it is calculated
From EV loss as a share of the pot: Best up to 0.25%, Correct up to 2%, Inaccuracy up to 5%, Wrong up to 15%, and Blunder beyond that. From frequency: Best at 50% or more, or the most common action; Correct from 25%; Inaccuracy from 10%; Wrong below that; and Blunder for an action GTO never takes.
Worked example
Losing 1bb in a 40bb pot is 2.5% of the pot, so it grades as an Inaccuracy. Calling with a hand that GTO calls 30% of the time grades as Correct.
Why it matters
The grade also schedules the spot: Blunder and Wrong bring it back within minutes, and Best pushes it days away.
