The vast majority of teams who consistently pull off complex autos in any year start the second week or so of build season knowing that they'll try to design that way. Some years pick up a few more or a few less on the fringes later on based on redesign difficultly, but that isn't the main driver behind the numbers. The task in any year is high-level enough that the pool of teams who can accomplish it consistently and the pool that can predict it early will naturally overlap quite heavily.
