Cells show the row archetype's win rate against the column archetype, over the selected window, with the number of matches behind it. Hover any cell for the record.
- High sample (20+ matches)
- Medium sample (8–19 matches)
- Low sample (5–7 matches)
- Insufficient sample (under 5 matches)
Bands are named for the size of the sample, not for confidence: even the strongest band carries a 95% interval around ±20 percentage points. Below 5 matches no win rate is shown at all. How these are calculated
