As I understand it W' is the amount of work in Joules that you can do before exhaustion. W'bal is essentially an estimate of "matches burned." There should be an estimate of W' under your overall curve on your power page. I think if you plug that number in in the settings, it will do W'bal for you. I have read that this measurement is tricky to do right, so this must just be a rough estimate. My W'bal sometimes dips a little below zero, which is obviously impossible. However, it clearly behaves the way I feel and I like seeing that I didn't leave anything on the course.

What's Type III fun?
Okay, so maybe Type II Fun.

Type I Fun
Type 1 fun is enjoyable while it’s happening. Also known as, simply, fun.

Type II Fun
Type 2 fun is miserable while it’s happening, but fun in retrospect. It usually begins with the best intentions, and then things get carried away.

Type III Fun
Type 3 fun is not fun at all. Not even in retrospect. Afterward, you think, “What in the hell was I doing?

I'll have to poke around more for the W'bal - thanks. That does seem like it'd be a tricky, tricky thing to pin down.
