The excuses now have receipts.
Separate the roster, the decision, and the bounce. A star getting hurt does not turn a sensible start into bad managing.
Monday Morning QB, without the cheap shots
The process label uses the recorded projections only. An outcome gap never changes it. Close calls are within the greater of 2 projected points or 10% of the larger projection. This is a house review tolerance, not a statistical confidence interval.

Projected points bypassed is a descriptive difference from the highest-projected legal roster, not points lost or a penalty. Crystal-ball gap is the perfect-hindsight ceiling and is not counted against managing. Compare only equal coverage; missing weeks are not zero.
Outcome receipts
Each line is one legal alternative. Alternatives can reuse the same bench player across lines and must not be added together. All hypothetical swaps still require a real availability/lock-time review.
