How each call scored

2 checkable claims — 2 fantasy rankings — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

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.
