Information Has Tiers

Bottom line

Official > trusted beat/insider > noise. Reprice only when the information earns the right to move your number.

Key points

  • Not all "news" deserves a line move.
  • Tier your sources before you tier your bets.
  • Late noise is how recreational money buys the wrong side of steam.

The hierarchy

  • Official: team/league confirmation, inactive lists, confirmed starters
  • Trusted beat / known insider with a track record
  • Aggregator rumors, anonymous replies, vibe accounts

Move KEI hard on tier-one. Soft-update or wait on tier-two. Ignore tier-three until it graduates.

Injury and reprice logic

The question is never "is this player out?" alone. It is: how much did the market already move, and does our fair still disagree after a disciplined reprice?

Desk notes this week will call out trap spots where the public overreacts to a name while the number is already past fair.
