The clearest recorded pattern is: Start's shot volume and the opposing shot-allowance context sit below their competition baselines. No second pattern clears the sample and coverage gates. Limitation: At least one team has fewer than the configured season sample.

At least one team has fewer than the configured season sample.
At least one team has an incomplete last-five window.
