THE ADJUSTMENT, MADE VISIBLE

The record vs. the verdict

The open dot is his record alone: a fixed projection of raw per-pick outcomes (era-normalized games and AV, draft capital, honors) onto the composite scale. The filled dot is the published verdict. The bar between them is the adjustment.

His record alone is a support view of the unadjusted record, not a second rating. The published verdict keeps its interval above.

ONE PERSON, COMPLETE CONTEXT

Team and tenure chronology

The Big Board ranks one person once across their full portfolio. The checked-in release keeps 190 people distinct from its 209 GM-team careers; these dated team assignments show the context behind this profile.

Top 5 hits

Support residuals: picks where the player most over-performed the league baseline at their draft slot. They explain the profile; they are not a second GM rating.

All 70 picks · bucketed residuals

Each cell is a support z-score: how far the player's outcome deviated from the league baseline at their draft slot. The total gives one vote to each bucket, so playing-time proxies do not drown out AV, AV/snap quality, or honors. It is not the maturity-adjusted headline composite.
