Hi Ariel, I have an ATC question here. I love that InterSK / InterSD are now being included in your projections, because it gives an idea of what goes on inside the black box. One thing I’m thinking about though is how to consider the skew from projections that are not really incorporated into ATC.

For example, Dylan Moore’s InterSK went from 1.61 on Feb 24 down to -0.42 today, even though his ATC projection didn’t change. Same with Trevor Story who went from 0.28 skew, down to -1.51 skew. Similar thing with Yelich, too. So, whatever projection system had big changes for them, it wasn’t considered to be accurate enough to be incorporated into the ATC projections. Since we effectively ignore whatever system that is with respect to the projection, should we also ignore it wrt the skew? Or maybe do some kind of a weighted skew that more heavily considers the projection systems that are proven to be most accurate?
