Quick answer: SaberSim simulates the slate — projections, correlations, and bulk-optimized lineups for what might win tonight. DFS Atlas archives what did win: the real first-place lineups from DraftKings contests, field vs top-1% ownership, and winner scores across the lake. Simulate forward with SaberSim; verify backward with DFS Atlas.

| What it is | DraftKings contest results archive + drill-downs | Projections, simulator and lineup optimizer |
| Core data | Real contest entries: lineups, ownership, winners | Simulation outputs |
| Lineup research | The actual lineups that cashed | Optimized/simulated lineups |
| Ownership edge | Real field vs top-1% ownership | Simulated ownership projections |
| Output | Historical drill-downs per contest | Tonight’s lineups in bulk |
| Cost | Early access — 2020–2026 lake at launch | Subscription for the optimizer suite |
| Best for | Validating builds against history | Generating entries fast |
SaberSim automates tonight: correlation models, bulk lineups, late swaps — the operational side of multi-entry play that a results archive doesn’t do at all.
Is DFS Atlas an optimizer?
No. DFS Atlas is a results archive; SaberSim is a build tool. Different jobs on the same desk.
How do the two work together?
Build with SaberSim, then check DFS Atlas for how contests with that structure and field size actually distributed ownership and prizes.
Whose data is “real”?
DFS Atlas’s — every row is an actual contest result. SaberSim’s value is forward-looking simulation, which is a different, honest thing.
Every indexed contest: prize ladder, most-owned players, field ownership vs top-1% finishers, and the lineups that actually cashed.
