How each call scored
12 checkable claims — 9 mock draft picks, 2 position order calls and 1 prospect vs prospect 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.
6 of 12 have settled so far, averaging 65.3 out of 100, against 44.4 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.
