Sorry for the delay, the last-minute bug required more thought than expected.

@many-kalin has raised his voice against one of our potential fixes:

> Hi, I was reviewing the code base for the challenge and noticed a function that enforces log1p normalization on the predictions in the scoring scheme: [feat(broad-1/scoring): re-apply normalization if necessary · crunchdao/competitions@3d72103 · GitHub](https://github.com/crunchdao/competitions/commit/3d721034ddb98a395c64bdc04cba8e1443519bf9). I would argue that this step may not be necessary or desirable. Introducing normalization based on the sum of all predictions could create a dependence on the predicted variables. This might be problematic if the gene expressions for different ge…

We are waiting for the final decision before we compute anything.
