Not sure I'm reading the graph right. I see a the rookie line at 2%. So it makes sense if you add 2% to exisiting teams that existing teams goes up. But 1% die, so the existing teams should die by 1% So the overall growth should be 1%.

Granted, I'm looking at the chart, I'm confused by it. TLI5, how to read the graph.

I believe only the attrition rate is using the right axis. For 2015 to 2016 for example, rookie teams grew by ~400 but we also lost ~200 teams. Therefore, total teams grew by ~200 teams.
