Agent strength and role fairness, derived from competitive win and pick rates. The 50% win-rate line is the fair baseline — sustained deviation is the signal of an imbalance.

Method: Strength is read from win rate against a 50% baseline. Roles are rolled up from their agents using a pick-rate-weighted win rate, so the agents people actually play count for more. A role within ±1% of 50% is treated as fair; ±1–2% is a real edge; beyond ±2% is flagged as over/underpowered. Thresholds are heuristics — win rates are noisy at small samples.

Scope: Based on all 29 agents currently in this app.
