v1.0: Methodology locked. Blurb shipped.

methodology writeups

Skaters, games, teams, rookies, and goalies are projected by their own layer instead of one big model — goalies get separate treatment because save percentage swings wildly without anchoring to team save quality first. The skater impact layer fits roughly a million 5-on-5 shifts to make sure credit goes to the right player.
