And remember the spotlight is always grows big enough to fit the cast: no one's going to view your work in a less impressive light because there's two other names there, and any reasonable person is going to make their best effort to commend/communicate with all three of you if all three of your names show up.

I've been in a similar position but I had the opposite problem: teammates trying to attribute a win to me, and me having to very insistent it was a team effort. I think it's just easy to underestimate how many pieces need to fall in place while you're building on a short timeline and under high pressure. From ideation to implementation, just the presence of teammates can have a strong effect (for all you know, part of your subconscious drive was just to show the other two teammates it could be done!)
At the same time, I wouldn't feel right if I was getting equal credit for being on a team where someone else did the vast majority of the work. It sounds like you're a reasonable person so what do you think is an effective way to handle a situation like this?
Looking back, to your point, I should have been more assertive earlier on with activating them so that we could all feel good about each others contributions. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
