How each call scored
18 checkable claims — 16 mock draft picks, 1 position order call and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 32 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
16 of 18 have settled so far, averaging 82.3 out of 100, against 46.9 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.
