QB1 INTELLIGENCE

Why It Matters

Availability changes alter the personnel a team can actually field. QB1 cares about whether the change touches a starter, a rotational contributor, or neither.

QB1 Market Impact

On its own this is unlikely to shift market expectations materially. QB1 logs it for context.

What to Watch

Watch the next official practice report and the game-day availability list. Those are the confirmations QB1 waits for before any input changes.
