How each call scored
14 checkable claims — 11 mock draft picks, 2 depth chart calls and 1 roster spot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 12 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
11 of 14 have settled so far, averaging 27.5 out of 100, against 50 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.
