Home / How It Works
BlindTangent is designed to turn scattered game notes into a repeatable fantasy process. Every step balances projection reliability, salary structure, and ownership dynamics so decisions stay systematic instead of emotional.
After signup, you configure contest preference, bankroll lane, and risk tolerance. The profile controls which slates and recommendation weights appear first. Our ranking model prioritizes role stability, projected minutes, pace differential, and defensive matchup data, while exposing volatility markers so you can decide when to absorb risk and when to avoid it.
Before lock, BlindTangent updates contest boards and player pools using injury signals, line movement context, and salary sensitivity checks. You can compare stars and value plays inside the same panel and see confidence spread by position. This creates a clear baseline lineup path before you start applying strategic pivots.
Contest tiles highlight field size, payout concentration, and median lineup duplication risk. In flatter payout structures you can favor projection safety, while top-heavy structures invite selective leverage picks. This step connects lineup construction to expected return profile instead of treating every contest as identical.
The AI assistant answers focused prompts, such as value under a specific salary threshold or fade guidance on high-ownership stars. Responses stay concise and reference concrete player names with rationale. You can run multiple scenarios quickly, then select the route that matches your risk target and contest type.
Once lineups are submitted, the dashboard tracks exposure by player and by game environment. Post-slate reports summarize what worked, what failed, and where projection confidence diverged from outcome. Over time, this creates a practical feedback loop that sharpens decision quality and improves consistency across slates.
