About Handoff
A football program generates more data than any staff can use, and almost none of it lives where the work happens.
What it is
Handoff is one place for a football program to keep everything it knows, plus the tools that turn it into work. League data and your own staff's work live side by side, so a scout's evaluation is connected to the play it came from and the decision it led to.
On top of that, there are three things you can use: a model lab where coaches build their own scoring models without writing a line of code, a system that reruns them automatically as new data comes in, and seven agents that handle the operational work around an athlete, using only your own records and nothing else.
Why it exists
Most programs already pay for the data. What they do not have is the engineering team that turns it into a column on a board, and hiring one is not realistic for most athletic departments. Handoff is the leverage of a data team without the headcount.
The one rule
Models compute, language models communicate. An agent chooses what to query and writes the reading, but the figure is computed by the model and returned to the screen out of band. The agent never touches a number on its way to you, and it cannot fill a gap with a plausible one, because the figure never passes through it.
Derived figures are labelled modeled rather than actual, everywhere they appear. Unconnected integrations are declared, so an agent says it needs credentials instead of estimating past the gap.
