Why We Publish a Changelog

At HeyTC, a lot of our value lives in algorithms and tools you can’t see directly:

• Daily QB rankings
• Fantasy QB scoring logic
• Super Bowl Simulator probabilities
• In-development projects like trade valuation tools

To stay transparent and build trust, we maintain this public Changelog so you can see:

• What we changed
• When we changed it
• Roughly how it might affect what you see on the site

This page doesn’t reveal proprietary code, but it does share meaningful updates to our systems, content, and infrastructure.
