Podcast evidence: 4539 takes from 93 episodes across 8 shows in the last 10 days, matched to 11 rostered players. Paraphrases with show, analyst and timestamp; transcripts are not published.

ESPN weekly component projections (projections_espn). Self-check pass rate: 100.0% (552/552).

Each chip is one data source the page was built from: the CBS league endpoints (dates, auth, rules, player pool, one roster per team), Sleeper projections and player spine, ESPN schedule and injuries, and three derived checks (ownership, identity, configuration). The number is minutes since that source was fetched; a chip turns red when the source failed or is older than its allowed age.

No unmatched identities in the scoped roster/DST crosswalk.

Waivers, FAAB decisions, ROS valuation, Scout and evidence drawers are outside this build. Build / snapshot 103250739b724b88b458ec0681cc909b.
