Case studies
League-true Ask — by host rules
Each study runs the same Season Ask engine against a connected rules shape or format desk. No invented FLEX or Superflex, no silent PPR rewrite, no weekly waiver theater on Best Ball — Homefield advises; the host places.
CBS Fantasy · NFL
CBS paolapanthers — league-true Ask, no invented FLEX
How Homefield answers start/sit and waiver questions when the host rules say Non-PPR, no FLEX, two adds per week, and one IR — the reference CBS NFL league we regression-test against.
Sleeper · NFL
Sleeper Half PPR + FLEX — league-true Ask, not a full-PPR template
How Homefield answers smash-FLEX, scoring, IR, and FAAB questions when Sleeper publishes Half PPR, one FLEX, two IR seats, and a live FAAB balance — the contrast pair to CBS paolapanthers (Non-PPR · no FLEX).
Superflex · NFL
NFL Superflex — SFLEX is real; we will not invent it elsewhere
How Homefield answers Superflex / 2QB questions when the connected host publishes an SFLEX seat — and how the same Ask refuses a second QB when the league is classic 1QB. No silent Superflex rewrite, no invented TEP.
TE Premium · NFL
NFL TE Premium — TEP is real when the host says so
How Homefield answers TE-premium / TEP questions when connected scoring publishes TE premium — and how the same Ask refuses invented TEP on plain PPR or Non-PPR. Weight TEs honestly; never invent half-PPR or TE-PPR.
Best Ball · NFL
NFL Best Ball — Ask refuses weekly waivers and lineup theater
How Homefield answers waiver, start/sit, strategy, and playoff questions on the Best Ball desk — no weekly claims, auto-started boards, strategy leans from the roster, and playoff-weighted math without inventing a host calendar.
Draft · NFL
NFL Draft desk — pre / during / post assist, no Wizard cosplay
How Homefield answers pre-draft prep, reach/panic ADP grades, on-the-clock leans, queue, and post-draft grade questions — league-true team size when connected, steal/value/fair/reach/panic vs pick number, and the early-round principle: you can lose rounds 1–3 by reaching. Auction nominations are not host-synced.
Keeper / Dynasty · NFL
NFL Keeper / Dynasty — inferred keep costs, no invented taxi
How Homefield answers keep/cut, asset-tier, and taxi questions on the Keeper/Dynasty desk — surplus vs inferred round cost, soft max-keeper caps, and host-defined taxi honesty without inventing IR+ or taxi squads.
