How each call scored

77 checkable claims — 69 roster spot calls and 8 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 75 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

49 of 77 have settled so far, averaging 91.8 out of 100, against 79.6 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 5 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.

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.
