Form, with a defined window
We pick a window (last five, last ten, season-to-date) and stick to it. The read is reproducible: another analyst using the same window should arrive at the same chart.
Availability, named
Out, doubtful, late fitness tests — all of these are sourced. We name the player and the source. We do not write around it.
Shape, with the open question
Where there is a real tactical question, we state it. Where there is no read, we say so. The uncertainty is part of the read, not a weakness.
