It's less about finding out how good a team is rather than what to expect when we interact with the team. If we know they're going to say they can do [x] during the strategy session, we have data proving whether they can or not (so we know whether to rely on that information). For example, if a team says they're going to put up 3 yellow totes and that they do it all the time, yet our scouting says otherwise, then it's pretty easy to tell them "no" if another team can do it as well. If we see that we are going to be with a coach that's a 10-year veteran mentor, then 9 times out of 10, it's going to be hard to convince him or her of going with a strategy other than their own. It's about arming yourself with information, which I see no problem in.
