How the recorded activity profile is formed

The method is descriptive and scoped to one declared season, competition phase, provider slice, and field-definition contract. This page publishes no result.

1. Bind one comparable slice

   Use one player-season-phase row for a declared provider slice, field definition, and source vintage. Regular season and playoffs remain separate.

2. Normalize to provider minutes

   For each family, use the recorded count per provider-reported totals-mode minute and express it as a per-36 rate. Positive reported minutes and at least one game are required for a rate.

3. Compare within the matching reference

   Within the same season and phase, compare each family with one common complete reference population using tie-aware reference percentiles.

4. Average only complete families

   Give the six family percentiles equal weight. The resulting mean is a descriptive six-family summary, not an overall player percentile. A missing, unsupported, or quarantined family suppresses the complete profile; it is never turned into zero or silently reweighted.

Six equal families

Each family contributes one equally weighted, tie-aware reference percentile.

Deflections

Provider-reported deflections.

Offensive + defensive loose-ball recoveries

Provider-reported loose-ball recoveries on offense or defense.

Charges drawn

Provider-reported charges drawn.

Two-point + three-point contests

Provider-reported contests of two-point and three-point attempts.

Screen assists

Provider-reported screen assists.

Offensive + defensive boxouts

Provider-reported offensive and defensive boxouts.

What this method does—and does not—say

Provider-minute denominator

Rates use provider-reported totals-mode minutes. That denominator does not prove that every relevant tracking minute was observed; tracking coverage is unverified.

Missingness

A missing, unsupported, or quarantined family is not treated as zero. A complete six-family summary is suppressed rather than silently reweighted.

Reference scope

Percentiles are tied within the same season and competition phase. The equal mean is not an overall player percentile.

Roles

Roles are not required for this method. Role comparisons are not computed, and no role is inferred from other fields.

Interpretation

This is descriptive recorded activity only. It is not a claim about effort, motivation, ability, causal impact, or future performance. Uncertainty is not estimated.
