    Plays remember on your account, and they show what you have built

    Tracked plays now persist to your account so they survive a new browser or a fresh device, and each active play card reads the pieces you have already built off your roster instead of going quiet when no follow-through target is on the board.

    • TRACKED PLAYS REMEMBERTrack a play once and the choice persists on your account: open the league on a different browser or device and the same plays are still tracked, the same suggestions are still dismissed. Anonymous use still works the same way; signing in pushes any plays you tracked anonymously up to your account in one shot. No more clicking Track again every time you open the hub.
    • BUILT VS MISSING ON EVERY PLAYActive play cards now show what is already on your roster toward the play, with values. A QB Stack you already have the anchor and the same-team WR for reads 'Built: Lamar Jackson (val 85), Mark Andrews (val 60) · covered' with a green covered chip. A Bridge QB with the bridge starter but no young dev yet reads 'Built: Rodgers (val 20) · still need the dev QB' with a partial chip. A QB Hoard with 4 QBs in a 1QB league reads 'Built: Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert, Richardson · three flippable past the one-starter mark.' A build lane shows its lane contributors when the roster fits the lane and the lane's named gap when it does not. The 'no target on the board yet' empty fallback now fires only when nothing is built and nothing is on the board.
    • SNIPED, WITH A TRADE ANGLEWhen someone else drafts the named partner on a play you are tracking, the card no longer says 'thin' as if it were still waiting on the board. It says 'sniped' in red, names the manager who holds the piece, and surfaces a trade angle: the holder's thin position and the surplus pieces on your roster that fit it. A handcuff sniped to lincolnenglish reads 'sniped: Pierre Strong (val 18) drafted by lincolnenglish' with the second line 'Trade angle: lincolnenglish is light at WR. Your surplus there: Brandon Aiyuk (val 45).' No fabricated lever: when the holder is full at every position you have surplus at, the angle line stays off.

    Kill the bare 'EV' label, plus draft capital and rubric reads on rookies

    The check-in, the share card, the trajectory chart, and the sort column on The Call now read 'Value vs ADP' for what the math actually measures. Rookie cards stop saying 'data missing' for draft capital, and the rubric pipeline now surfaces a projection footer on each rookie-debut card.

    • VS ADP, NOT EVEvery chrome that read 'EV bank' or 'EV banked' now reads 'Value vs ADP' or 'value banked vs ADP'. The check-in's checkpoint reads 'Value vs ADP +N.N, Mth of N.' The share card, the trajectory chart, the sort column on The Call, and the share button match. The math is unchanged. The label now matches what the formula does: measure how much each pick beat the market on timing. The names 'Forward Value' and 'Forward Production' are reserved for surfaces that need data and backtests before they earn them.
    • ROLE ON THE CALLThe standing call and every candidate on the board now carry a one-line role read: last season's snap share and targets per game, with a rising or eroding trend arrow. A second-year player whose snap share climbed shows it; an incoming rookie has no NFL role to show, which is the honest tell that one is proven and the other is a projection. Hover the line for the trend detail.
    • DRAFT CAPITAL ON ROOKIESRookie-debut inflection cards now show each rookie's actual NFL overall pick: pick 1 to 15 reads as the high hit-rate tier and argues breakout, Day 3 picks read as the low hit-rate tier and argue caution. The row used to render 'data missing' on every rookie card because no draft-capital source was wired. The signal earned its wiring: a marginal-projection backtest on 626 player-seasons showed draft pick predicts next-year production beyond last year's points (correlation -0.10 overall, -0.40 for players under 25).
    • MARKET GAPS ON THE CALLTwo markets price each player: the draft market (ADP, where consensus picks) and the trade market (overall trade-value rank). When they disagree by 15 picks or more, each candidate on The Call now carries a one-line read of the gap, showing both numbers and which market is earlier. Adonai Mitchell sits at ADP 196 but value rank 242: drafted 46 picks earlier than the trade market ranks him. The framing is neutral, both numbers visible; the user decides whether ADP is overpaying or the trade market is sleeping on him.
    • RUBRIC PROJECTION ON ROOKIESThe parked rubric pipeline now runs live on every rookie on your roster, surfacing a projection footer on the inflection rookie-debut card: point estimate, variance range, confidence, and the top contributions from the evidence stack. When the rubric has too little signal to read for a player, the footer wears a warning-tone caveat instead of pretending to a confident call. The wiring is projection-only and never feeds value scoring; the larger value-scale rubric wiring stays parked until the backtest evidence supports it.

    Earned role, and a companion that shows up in-season

    Aging-cliff cards and Coach now read each player's earned opportunity, and the companion check-in stays with you after the draft.

    • EARNED OPPORTUNITYAging WR, TE, and RB cards now show a snap-share-plus-targets signal pulled from last season's box score: a rising role argues the player holds up, an eroding one is the cliff's leading edge. The numbers come from the free stats feed already fetched, so no card waits on data it could have shown.
    • COACH READS ROLECoach now carries each of your players' prior-season snap share, targets per game, average depth of target, red-zone targets, and drop rate, and grounds every role claim in them. A young player whose role climbed reads as buy-the-trajectory; a featured name whose role slipped reads as the early warning. Opportunity informs the projection, never overrides market value.
    • COMPANION IN-SEASONThe check-in at the top of the hub used to go quiet once the draft ended. It now leads with where you sit by record, and it remembers the picks you took over the call: while a value race is close it keeps the running story, and once the gap is decisive it tells you the gamble cashed or names the gap you left. Every line traces to a real number, the same honest-first rule the draft companion already follows.

    One priced pool, sharper signals

    The board and Coach name the same call from one priced pool, and the aging-RB cards read real workload.

    • ONE CALL, BOARD + COACHThe board and Coach now compute the standing call from one priced pool, so they name the same player. A starter-hole pick weighs player value, not just snipe-risk, so strong fallers stay on the board.
    • AGING-RB SIGNALSAging-RB cards now read real prior-season workload and career mileage from carries, not "data missing."
    • CO-OWNER FIXCo-owned teams resolve to the right roster everywhere. A co-owner no longer sees another manager's read.
    • COACH POSTURECoach reads your contender / rebuilder / teardown posture on every recommendation, matching the board.
    • ONE EV NUMBERPer-pick EV, position, and roster-identity math now run from one source each, so a tune ripples everywhere.
    • RUNS: WAIT ON DEPTHA backtest on 41 real drafts shows declining a positional run banks a discount on your off-run picks, and waiting on a deep position like WR costs almost nothing. Coach no longer treats a WR run as a reason to chase.
    • RUN CALL BY LEAGUE SIZECoach calibrates chase-or-skip to your league. The value edge barely changes with size, so the call reads your recoverability: how many picks remain against your unfilled starters. Deep dynasty rosters skip a run and rebalance later; a shallow redraft acts sooner when a run threatens a starter you still need.

    Hardening, honesty, and polish

    A correctness and trust pass across Coach, the companion, and the hub, plus a site-wide security sweep.

    • OPPONENTS, FULLY NAMEDCoach now enumerates every opponent and grades position depth by startable quality, not raw headcount. Six replacement-level WRs no longer read as deep at WR.
    • STRAIGHTER COMPANIONThe debate beat anchors to your first pick after a visit, never chides you for taking the call, and never leaks a raw player id into the copy.
    • HONEST INFLECTION CARDSWhen a signal has no live data the card says so once, cleanly, and flags when a read leans on the base rate instead of evidence.
    • POSITIONAL RUNS, GROUNDEDCoach's guidance on chasing a positional run is backed by a tier-depth backtest on real KTC data, not a rule of thumb.
    • HARDENINGA site-wide security pass: legal footer, locked-down admin routes, security.txt, fail-closed guards on the model endpoints, and ops alerts.
    • POLISHA mobile layout pass across The Call and The League, Draft Position tucked into How you're doing, and the two EV bank reads merged into one.

    The companion meets the Decision Board

    The check-in now reacts to your plays, and The Call and the companion read from one board.

    • ONE DECISION BOARDThe Call and the companion read from the same Decision Board. The pick on your hub and the pick Coach cites are always the same call.
    • PERSPECTIVES, NOT COLUMNSEach candidate reads through several perspectives at once (win-now, balanced, future, and more). The loud ones lead instead of three fixed columns.
    • PLAYS REACTWhen a pick advances one of your active plays, the check-in names the play and shows the next partner's survival odds.
  7. 2026-05-21

    The Companion

    A check-in at the top of your hub that reacts to what actually happened, grounded in real numbers.

    • THE CHECK-INSomething is waiting when you come back: vindication when a call lands, a bad beat when you were ahead and variance flipped it, a nudge when you left value on the board.
    • HONEST-FIRSTIt commiserates only when you were genuinely ahead, and pushes back only when there was a real edge to capture. No manufactured drama.
    • TALK IT THROUGHAny beat hands off to Coach in one tap, with the thesis and the numbers already loaded for the conversation.

    Plays

    Multi-pick plans became the strategic frame, on the board and into the season.

    • PLAYSTrack, commit to, or dismiss multi-pick plans like QB Stack or Anchor plus Handcuff. Each play shows per-partner survival odds and a real deadline pick.
    • URGENCY THAT MEANS SOMETHINGA play's urgency comes from its most at-risk partner. An 18% anchor reads act-now even when the fallbacks are comfortable.
    • DISMISS, FORGIVENOne click sends a play to a collapsed list. Bring it back any time, and the engine still flags it when conditions intensify.
    • FORMAT-AWAREPlays that do not fit your league no longer surface. No TE-premium plays in a league without TE premium.
    • STRAIGHTER TRADE ADVICECoach stopped appending a blanket hold-your-picks caution to mid-draft trades where it did not hold up.
  9. 2026-05-16

    Live-draft trades and pre-draft prep

    Trades worth making right now, plus a prep surface before the draft starts.

    • TRADE OPPORTUNITIESAn active-draft panel surfaces trades worth making now, currency-matched to each opponent and inside a fair value band.
    • PATH PROJECTORBefore the draft, see how the board could break across your picks and which paths your slot actually supports.
    • SURVIVAL, HONESTSurvival odds compute to your next genuinely contested pick, so a player with rounds of cushion no longer reads as a coin flip.
    • BUILD FIT IN PLAIN ENGLISHYour roster build reads as FITS, PARTIAL, or NO FIT with plain descriptions, not cohort jargon.

    Rankings Lab, doctrine, and a sharper Coach

    Tune the model to your league, and a Coach that knows every opponent by name.

    • RANKINGS LABEight dials to perturb the model, with the equation, methodology drawers, and a per-row Why panel behind every ranking.
    • PER-LEAGUE DOCTRINESet a global doctrine, then override it per league. Your win-now veterans team and your rookie team can play differently.
    • NAMED OPPONENTS IN COACHCoach sees every opponent's full named roster with values, so which of their RBs should I target gets a real answer.
    • METHODOLOGY PAGESA methodology landing page with receipts: opponent fingerprints, doctrine readouts, and the inflection scorecard.

    The redesign and The Call

    The hub became one workspace, led by a single decisive call.

    • THE CALLOne pick, one verdict, with the EV number promoted and the reasoning named. Replaces the old multi-panel decision sprawl.
    • THE EV BANKA cumulative-EV trajectory chart with confidence bands, plus where you rank against the league by banked EV.
    • STABLE SHAPE, VISIBLE DELTAA since-your-last-visit digest at the top of the hub, change dots on sections that moved, and a heads-up when a planned target got sniped.
    • EMPIRICAL AGE CURVESAging curves refit on 2022 to 2025 production, position by position, replacing rounded rules of thumb.
    • THE LIBRARYShort pieces from inside the model, each starting with a number that should bother you.
    • ADP YOU CAN VERIFYEvery ADP variant shows on tap, so your numbers and the engine's are never different planets.
  12. 2026-05-04

    The EV bank and the model's foundation

    Per-pick value tracking arrived, and the model got a published, backtested core.

    • EV BANK, PER PICKEvery pick logs the value it banked against ADP, with a running total and a confidence range.
    • INFLECTION WINDOWSPlayers facing a make-or-break season surface as a bimodal read with a signal scorecard, not a single rounded projection.
    • TEAM IDENTITYA this-is-your-team panel with a comparator narrative, so the shape of your roster reads at a glance.
    • PUBLISHED SCOREBOARDA backtest harness and a public scoreboard put the model's v1 numbers and aging-cliff curves on the record.
  13. 2026-04-26

    SWOT briefings, value plays, and the After-Action Report

    The analyst voice landed across the hub, and the draft recap shipped.

    • SWOT BRIEFINGA consulting-framework read of your league with three voices per quadrant: statistician, coach, and gambler. They are allowed to disagree.
    • AFTER-ACTION REPORTA post-draft recap with grades, the steals and swings of the draft, and an email when it is ready.
    • VALUE PLAYSValue picks across timeline lanes replaced the old position forks, lifting the players the market mispriced.
    • CANONICAL ROSTER FITRoster-room math moved to one source, fixing misreads like a backup QB counted as a starter.
