Consistency Separates Contenders from Pretenders
The Team Balance Index is a composite metric that helps identify core strengths and weaknesses. We use it to show who's consistent.

Balance isn’t just about one hot season — it’s about showing up, year after year.
When we charted the Team Balance Index (TBI) scores across the last three years, we saw a clear divide:
- Top quartile teams: steady balance, steady contention.
- Bottom quartile teams: inconsistency, and often failed to make the playoffs
Consistency matters. It’s what turns a good roster into a perennial threat.
