Why four points beat a complete diary
Trying to mark every mistake turns a replay into an unranked list. An economy review looks for moments where capital changed the available action set.
Purchase captures gold becoming power, objective captures timing realization, death destroys optionality and buyback purchases a second life.
Build a counterfactual you can test
Replace ‘play better’ with a concrete question: what changes with a purchase two minutes earlier, a different component or 400 gold preserved? The answer should lead to an observable fight or objective.
If the alternative does not change the team's possible actions, it is unlikely to be the match's primary economic fork.
Keep one rule for the next match
A review is complete only when it creates a short rule - for example, check buyback before any purchase after minute 35 while Roshan is alive.
One repeatable trigger is stronger than a long conclusion list. Across matches, it creates a personal dataset that Money Meta can later turn into benchmarks.
