How each call scored

a naive guessbetter than naive

4 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls, 1 division winner and 1 playoff pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

All 4 have settled, averaging 72.9 out of 100, against 47.9 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
