I'd be more than happy to post about our process after the season. Feel free to bug me via PM if I don't follow through; I was never big on secrecy.

This is stuff we used to do and honestly the biggest reason I haven't lately is just because I'm too busy building and working to document and post everything for Chief Delphi. I've been online less than 10 times this build season. I have no delusions of being "good enough" where staying secret with what we do is really a competitive advantage. I also haven't cleared it with the team and don't want to step on any toes, so at this point I'll just wait the few days it'll take to make it work.
