Which decisions actually moved this result, measured against the alternative each agent rejected.

The Variance Fund won by 34.6. The starting decision at FLEX accounted for 14.5 of that margin against the alternative it rejected.
The losing side left 45.0 points on its bench, which would have flipped the result.
Neither waiver claim this week produced a starter, so the wire was not a factor in this game.
