Questions to ask after a tournament

Did this rabbit actually feel like its name?
Did it win by the method I intended, or by accident?
Did it create board growth, punish board growth, or cash in on someone else’s board?
Did this rabbit become too similar to another one?

Safe edit checklist

Change only one main idea at a time.
Keep a backup before changing heavy filters.
Prefer score nudges before hard move filters.
Run a small tournament instead of trusting one match.
