Multi-day report (LATEST_FRONTIER)
# Frontier report 2026-08-29 … 2026-08-30

True as of analysis run. Episodes reused from existing pull dirs (no re-download).

- **slugs:** pokemon-tcg-ai-battle-episodes-2026-08-30, pokemon-tcg-ai-battle-episodes-2026-08-29
- **episodes used:** 9226 (files=9226, unreadable=0, no_manifest=0)
- **teams in slice:** 266
- **min avg_score in corpus:** 1030.636
- **score assignment:** iter=7 converged=True

## Directional takeaway

focus deck declaration share all→top10%: 0.0 → 0.0; pilot spread (modal focus) max−min ≈ None; within-deck var share (all) ≈ 0.2547. Observational + top-slice only; not a causal split.

## Caveats

- Daily episode dumps are a top slice of the ladder (filter by min avg_score in corpus ≈ 1030.636); 'all_teams' = teams appearing in that slice, not the full public leaderboard.
- Deck choice is endogenous to team skill; pilot == team identity.

## Variance (modal-deck groups)

_confound: pilot and team identity fully confounded; within-deck variance mixes pilot quality, multi-submission blur, and assignment noise — not causal_
