–GM WAR — wins above a replacement GM (org-adjusted, shrunk; per season)

–Depth — 2+ WAR regulars per season (the breadth that drives TAB, not stars)

–Dead WAR — WAR/yr bled by sub-replacement players (closer to 0 = better)

–Dead money — payroll on <0.5-WAR players (lower = better)

+0.0TAB — talent above budget — roster-construction alpha (talent your budget bought above expectation), tenure total

+0.0WAB — realized wins (TAB + the non-repeatable luck of converting talent to wins)

–Acquisition Leverage — playoff pts per acquired WAR, graded once in the year each deal's wins arrive (the repeatable decision skill)

WAB = wins above what the team's payroll predicted (resource-controlled). WAR surplus = era-neutral value (WAR minus payroll in win-equivalents). Roster surplus $M = dollar value of WAR over cost. Build channels (realized fWAR): HG = home-grown via amateur draft / international signing; Trade = acquired minus surrendered (incl. purchases/waivers); FA = signed minus walked; R5 = Rule-5 / minor-league-draft pickups. Credit follows the acquisition year — home-grown to the regime at the player's draft/signing (not whoever was in the chair when he peaked), trade/FA/R5 to the GM who made the move. Players acquired as prospects before debuting (e.g. Smoltz, Bagwell; Rule-5 picks like Uggla) are counted as trade/R5, not home-grown. All are franchise-level outcomes during the stint, not solely attributable to one executive.
