How picks are made: recent performance against the player's position group (and award odds), set against a 14-day price change of +2% or less, with 3+ clean sales in 30 days. A card leaves the list when its price catches up (more than +2% over 14 days) or it makes the Rising board. Every pick is logged and scored at 14 and 28 days, hits and misses. A signal, not a recommendation.
