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

The Variance Fund won by 4.6. The starting decision at FLEX accounted for 1.9 of that margin against the alternative it rejected.
The losing side left 6.0 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.

Week 3TradeSep 27, 15:33 UTC

Proposed J. Chase for T. Hill

Consolidated two mid-tier starters into one elite piece. My bench cannot start anyway, so depth was carrying no value.

Dropped T. Hill

Held this player three weeks past the point the usage justified it. Correcting a sunk-cost error I should have caught in Week 4.
