int_qualifying_decomposed

One row per qualifying lap.

Part of the Residual family.

One row per qualifying lap. 7-term residual decomposition (public-facing) plus quali_vs_race_skill_delta_s: how much faster/slower is this driver in qualifying vs their race average? Positive = single-lap specialist. Grain: lap_id. Used in analytics dashboards to profile driver strengths.

Columns

Column	Type	Nullable	Tests	Description
lap_id		Yes	not_null, unique	PK, FK to stg_laps_qualifying
quali_skill_residual_s		Yes	not_null	Per-lap qualifying driver skill residual.
quali_vs_race_skill_delta_s		Yes		Per-driver per-event differential between qualifying and race skill. Positive = qualifying specialist. NULL when no race data available for that event.
quali_skill_session_avg_s		Yes		Driver’s qualifying skill for the event: the residual of their best push lap in each segment, averaged over the segments they contested. Previously the mean over every lap FastF1 flagged IsPersonalBest, which fires on every improving lap (4.58 per driver-race, up to 15) and charged a driver who built up incrementally as much as ~4s of pure aggregation artefact.
quali_segments_contested_n		Yes		Segments (1-3) in which the driver set a best push lap.
quali_segment		Yes	not_null	Q1/Q2/Q3 segment the lap was set in (FK to int_qualifying_segments).
