Did this pick move Dom Anile's grade?

The first chart removes the time axis: every Dom Anile pick is sorted by retained contribution across opportunity, quality, and recognition. Dan Morgan totals +0.61. The second chart breaks that same contribution into the seasons when the evidence arrived. Opportunity and quality can move separately, which keeps high-snap, low-AV profiles from looking cleaner than they are.
