Real analysis. Smarter reads. A deeper understanding of the card.


The evidence points to a volume gap (2.6 vs 3.8 strikes per minute); that is the read to test in the first five minutes.
The stored career numbers do not draw a sharp contrast between these two, which usually means the fight is decided by adjustments rather than a single dominant phase.
