Forecast-backed notebooks turn the 2026–27 slate into a research queue: read the range, identify the Four Factors, then take the next question to the roster, film and source archives.
The queue refreshes from the latest retained D1 forecast edition when available. Each notebook keeps the model range and source caveats attached; a generated preview is a starting point for reporting, not a claim about availability or a betting edge.
