The scenario grid
Temperature bands sit on this species' own curve: cold is 13 °C, near optimum is 24 °C, too warm is 29 °C. Each cell links to the full ranking and names the top lure, or how far the best one got if nothing was eaten.

Which archetypes the model favours for bluegill
None. No archetype gets eaten by the bluegill model in any of these twelve scenarios. The scenario pages show where each one fails and the model's fix; the Fish lets you try other conditions and your own builds.
