What the record shows

The clearest recorded pattern is: Start's last-five goals scored average is above their season average. A second useful context is: Start's shot volume and the opposing shot-allowance context sit below their competition baselines. Limitation: Evidence is usable but does not meet the strongest completeness threshold.
