MODEL SENSITIVITY

Most impactful players for this game

single-player OUT

This ranking is the promoted model's counterfactual response to removing one player and safely reallocating the rotation. It is not a causal estimate of that player's real-world value.

E66 · WHO ABSORBS THE MINUTES?

Rotation + player projection changes

MODEL ESTIMATE · NOT CAUSAL

Run a valid OUT scenario to see who receives the reallocated minutes and how PTS / REB / AST / 3PM projections change under the same player-stat projection model.

No scenario run yet.

FAIL-CLOSED METHOD

What this simulator will not do

No invented rotation

Cold starts, unsupported roles and zero-minute players never receive new minutes merely to make a scenario work.

No causal shortcut

Historical residualized with/without evidence remains descriptive context. It is never multiplied into the current win probability.

No score rewrite

The score authority remains adjusted_efficiency_score_v1. What If changes only the promoted Game Win overlay.

No unsafe answer

If the remaining supported rotation cannot close exactly 240 minutes under the 42-minute cap, the scenario is withheld.
