Suppose declared scores lie in . For each score, use independent attempted runs from the same fixed actual model. If its actual mean differs from the target mean by at most , then, simultaneously for all scores,
with probability at least , provided
If the allowance depends on calibration valid with probability at least , the unconditional coverage is at least .
Proof. Hoeffding's inequality bounds each two-sided deviation from the actual mean by Hoeffding. Use a union bound and then the mean allowance. Add the calibration-failure probability.
