How it works · the science

Tracking in. Understanding out.

One foundation model reads the game the way no product before it could — from the raw movement of all 22 players. Here’s the whole pipeline, honestly: what goes in, what it learns, and the four things it hands back.

01 — The inputTracking data

It reads positions, not highlights.

Every player, every second — position and motion, frame by frame. The model reads the sequence as it forms, not a frozen snapshot.

From raw movement, it learns where the game is actually won — the few spaces that decide it. Move across the surface to probe.

03 — IntakeFootage → understanding

Feed it video. Get back understanding.

Raw broadcast in; positions, events and value out. This is how a club with no tracking deal still plugs in — and why the pitch’s built-in symmetries (a left-wing move is the right, mirrored) let it learn all this from scarce data.
04 — What it hands back

One model. Four answers.

01

Structured concepts

Presses, overloads, shape — pulled out in coach language.

02

State valuation

How dangerous is this moment? Expected Threat, learned.

03

Action valuation

Was that the right decision — for every player, every touch.

04

Retrieval

Turn any moment into a fingerprint; find every one like it.

Bring your data

Trained on open data. Sharpened on yours.

We train the model on simulation and open data, so it works out of the box. Plug in your own tracking — on your machines, your data never leaving the building — and it reads your season the same way.
