THE HOLD, NOT JUST THE CLAIM

What comes after this week?

The Drop / Add assessment uses the immediate and future FF outlook together. For a bye replacement, the hold decision starts after the bye.

Green highlights the higher displayed projection when both outlooks are known; ties and incomplete comparisons stay neutral.
