stackup
How things compare
A stackup is the arrangement of layers or components in a manufactured assembly, used especially in electronics to describe how the layers of a circuit board are organized—their materials, thicknesses, and sequence.
Engineers design stackups to achieve specific electrical and mechanical properties.
The term extends to any situation where multiple elements are arranged in layers or levels: What's the stackup of talent in this year's draft class?
In sports and competition, stackup often refers to how teams or players compare against each other.
