Each dimension is a percentile against eligible leagues from the same season-year cohort. A 90 means unusually high relative behaviour, not “90% good”.
League DNA is withheld when fewer than six eligible same-year peers exist. Current-only maintenance still uses the full frozen A/B peer authority.
Events, lineups, shots and reconciled timelines carry separate observed denominators. Missing observations do not become zeroes.
Every published snapshot records its model version, observation window and SHA-256 source manifest for reproducibility.
