📌 Team background: A blend of football data experts, ML engineers, and sports media professionals, averaging over 6 years of industry experience. All simulation models have been backtested on more than 500 historical matches.
📐 Data Philosophy · Transparent · Falsifiable · Iterative No black boxes — every metric has a public mathematical definition
🔬 Principle 1: Transparent Attribution
Complete formulas for "Upset Index", "Value Index", and "Confidence Score" are published on the "Data Methodology" page, allowing users to independently replicate the reasoning logic.
⚡ Principle 2: Dynamic Calibration
Models are retrained every 24 hours, with live injury/lineup dynamic factors added during the knockout stage to ensure trends follow the latest information flow.
📊 Principle 3: Falsifiability
We publish historical backtest accuracy (71.2%) and confidence interval performance. Any prediction deviation can be traced through error analysis reports.
🧠 Principle 4: Simulation Labeling Culture
All projected data is clearly marked as "simulated" to avoid confusion with actual results, upholding responsible data communication.
🔄 Data Source Ethics
We use only public historical data and institutional historical odds patterns, with no involvement of non-public channels. Odds trend interpretations do not constitute betting inducement.
🎯 Mission & Vision · Bringing Rationality to Football Data Helping fans understand the digital logic behind the game
🌍 Short-term Mission (2026)
