What ChatGPT (and generic rankings) miss here
- Locks keep/cut leans from surplus math — not a generic rankings dump
- Discloses inferred keep costs until the host exposes keep rounds
- Soft-enforces max keepers — next-man-up is cut, not automatic
- Refuses invented taxi / IR+ seats — host-defined only
- We advise on the Keeper/Dynasty desk; weekly H2H Season stays a separate path
