How each call scored

a naive guessbetter than naive

2 checkable claims — 1 game outcome pick and 1 power ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

1 of 2 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 0 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.
