How the two are built

Agent roles and six team stats. 6 of the fingerprint's dimensions

same role mix Their most-used lineups have the same numbers of duelists, initiators, controllers and sentinels.

Dimension	T1	XLG	Gap	Reading	Sample
Fewer wins by defuse	33%	39%	-6	Same	145 defence round wins
Opening kills concentrated	34%	28%	+6	Not settled	24 maps

Lower headshot %	26%	31%	-5	Different	19 maps
More assists per 100 kills	40.0	37.5	+2.5	Not settled	24 maps
“Not settled” means this sample does not separate the two values. The sample column is the smaller of the two teams' samples, in the unit that dimension counts, because a comparison is only as strong as its thinner side. These dimensions are not all independent: the structure ones restate how rigid a lineup is from different angles and move together, so read them as one family rather than as separate agreements.

This dimension does not separate teams. A team's position here moves between samples, so the order below is not a standing. It is shown because a flat dimension is a finding, and dimmed everywhere else on the site for the same reason.
