FAQ

How fast can we launch a model into staff workflows?

Simple xG or matchup models deploy in 2-3 weeks; integrated player usage and opponent prep models take 4-6 weeks including data validation and staff onboarding.

Do you work with leagues beyond the NHL?

Yes. We support pro, junior, NCAA, and European clubs. We adapt pipelines to league feeds, Arena data, and video tagging outputs.

Can we use our existing BI stack?

We integrate with your stack (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Looker) or deliver lightweight dashboards and API endpoints that plug into internal tools.

How do you ensure coach adoption?

We co-design outputs with coaching staff, produce low-friction decision aids (bench cards, clip packages), and track usage to refine delivery.
