A perspective, not a prediction.
The existing Skol Index combines six weighted components into a 0–100 editorial composite. Their maximum weights are 30, 20, 15, 15, 10 and 10. This presentation checks that values fit those limits and sum to the reported total.
The stored records do not include a reproducible raw-data calculation for every component. Reconciliation confirms arithmetic; it does not establish predictive accuracy or an independently verified measure of franchise quality. Dates identify the recorded snapshot. Historical readings are not current team status.
