Each step is a saved weekly score; dots mark where the score changed, and dashed lines mark a model update. A score held at a floor after a re-signing or commitment shows as the last step. Hover to read any saved score. Model signals include recruiting profile, production and usage, team transfer rate, coaching changes, position, and prior transfer history. TVS is a relative risk score. It is not a literal probability.
