Certified Pick
A Certified Pick is an official V8 Predicts recommendation that met the published publication standard and carries a pre-event verification record.
In plain English
It is the product. A Certified Pick states its market, its selection and the price terms under which it applies, and its existence is committed to before the event so it cannot be revised afterwards.
Example
A published instruction to back a named side at a stated price or better, with a proof link recorded before kickoff.
Why it matters
It is the only V8 output that is an official recommendation, which makes the label worth reading precisely rather than loosely.
How V8 uses this term
A Certified Pick means exactly the same thing on every plan. There is no better or stronger official pick reserved for a higher tier.
