Clarity over complexity
We compress signal, not noise. One glance should tell you what matters and what to do next.
Sports intelligence for clearer decisions
xVal builds tools that help teams and investors see performance, value, and potential with greater clarity and objectivity. Football first, expanding across sports.
What we believe
Data should enhance decisions, not replace judgement. xVal sits at the intersection of sport, analytics, and economics—combining modern AI with how teams actually work on the ground.
We build systems that connect actions to value, make trade‑offs explicit, and help decision‑makers move faster with confidence—across football first, and increasingly across other sports.
Objective, with context
Data frames the decision; practitioners ground it. Born in football, built for sport.
Practical impact
Workflows first—recruitment, scouting, investment. Fewer slides, tighter cycles, measurable outcomes.
Human‑in‑the‑loop
Transparent features, versioned models, clear ownership. People stay in control; tools do the lifting.
What we’re building
Moneyball for modern sport—with commercial outcomes. We turn actions into value, surface edges in the market, and explain the “why” so you can buy, sell, and allocate capital with discipline.
Player Value Engine
Links performance to market value using Bayesian price curves and league/age adjustments. Produces fair‑value ranges, mispricing flags, and deal comps for price discipline.
Possession Value Model
Expected contribution per action (pass, carry, shot) to chance creation and goals—tied to value lift and usage‑based economics.
Role Archetypes & Fit
Embeddings and clustering map players to role archetypes. Role‑fit scores to your tactical profile to raise hit‑rate and reduce churn.
Trajectory & Risk
Age curves and availability risk to project peak and downside. Confidence bands and scenario analysis for downside protection.
Recruitment Shortlists
Undervalued targets by role, league, and budget. Pipeline with fee/wage/ROI scenarios and expected value under different usage.
Transparent Model Cards
Each metric ships with a model card—inputs, assumptions, limitations, example reads—for governance and accountable sign‑off.
