The App.
The Engine.

The proprietary software that powers every Meaningful Intelligence Report. Ingest verified game data. Run it through The Engine. Produce a coach-readable MIR in under five minutes.

What It Does

From play-by-play to verdict in five minutes.

The SBA App · The Engine is the proprietary software backbone of every report we publish. Coaches paste game data. The Engine parses every event, runs it through the 5-component methodology, and produces a complete analytical profile across eleven distinct views.

01

1. Ingest

Paste play-by-play directly from public sources. The Engine parses every event — made shots, assists, rebounds, fouls, substitutions, turnovers — in seconds.

02

2. Process

The 5-component scoring algorithm runs over every player and every lineup. Position adjustment. Pace adjustment. Tier classification. Composite MIR Scores.

03

3. Analyze

Eleven distinct analytical views populate instantly: momentum, lineups, players, opponents, comparisons, history, and valuation panels.

04

4. Deliver

One-tap report generation. Halftime Brief for the locker room. Full postgame report for staff review. Printable PDF, ready for the bench coach.

The Software

Eleven analytical views. One engine.

Every MIR is built across eleven distinct analytical panels — each one designed for a specific decision a coach, scout, or agent has to make.

Import Track Momentum Lineup Players Opponent Report History Compare Valuation Help

1. Import

Paste play-by-play text directly. The Engine parses every event in seconds. Box score paste-in available for deeper stats (True FG%, official +/-, minutes).

2. Track

Manual event tracking for live games or programs without play-by-play feeds. Tap players, tap events, build the same dataset in real time.

3. Momentum

Auto-detected lineup stretches showing the worst (and best) net swings of the game. Identify the moments that decided the outcome — not just the box score totals.

4. Lineup

Five-man unit performance. Net swing per lineup. Color-coded bars (positive, negative, neutral) sync with the game's momentum line.

5. Players

Deep individual profiles. MIR Score, tier classification, 5-component breakdown. Projected per-36 / per-40 minutes. Confidence tier shown for each projection.

6. Opponent

Auto-detected opponent scouting. Top opponent players ranked by Impact. System tendencies. Used by staffs prepping for the next game on the schedule.

7. Report

One-tap report generation. Halftime Brief (printable for the locker room at the half). Full Report (complete six-section postgame analysis ready for staff review).

8. History

Library Management for game-over-game tracking. Every saved game retained with player MIR Scores, lineup data, opponent context. Build a season-long view.

9. Compare

Two-player side-by-side. Same engine, same scale. Component delta. The Head-to-Head MIR engine inside the app — the portal decision-maker.

10. Valuation

Player valuation panel for agents and NIL collectives. MIR Score × projection × market context = defensible valuation card. Printable as a standalone document.

11. Help

Built-in knowledge base. Every feature, every metric, every component definition explained in plain coaching language. Queryable from inside the app.

Specialty Modes

Built for the way coaches actually work.

Player Focus Mode

Turn on Player Focus and isolate the entire analysis to one player. The full game still parses, but every panel filters down to that single individual. Built for agents building NIL files and recruiters tracking transfer portal targets in real time.

Quick Demo

Load a College Sample or NBA Sample with a single tap. Test the entire engine without any data of your own. Every analytical view populates with real game data so coaches can evaluate the platform before they commit.

Bench-Coach Workflow

Game-day usage: paste at each stoppage of play, every analytical view updates live. New events get appended — old ones aren't duplicated. At halftime, generate the Halftime Brief and print it for the head coach.

How We Mine the Data

The data behind the verdict.

The Engine is a parsing and scoring system — not a data scraping operation. Coaches, programs, and analysts paste their own play-by-play directly from the major basketball publishers. The Engine handles the heavy lift from there.

Step 1 — Verified Source Ingestion

Every game starts with verified statistical data from a major basketball publisher (ESPN, conference data publications, or equivalent). Coaches paste the raw text directly. No scraping. No unauthorized access. Same source the coach was already using.

Step 2 — Event Parsing

The Engine reads every line of play-by-play text and categorizes each event: made shots (2pt, 3pt, FT), missed shots, assists, rebounds (offensive, defensive), turnovers, steals, blocks, fouls, substitutions, timeouts. Every event timestamped to the game clock.

Step 3 — Player & Lineup Attribution

Every event gets attributed to the player who created it AND the five-man lineup on the floor at that moment. This is how The Engine measures both individual performance and unit chemistry — the part of basketball most analytics miss.

Step 4 — 5-Component Scoring

The 5-component algorithm runs over every player. Score, Impact, Rebound, Defense, Clutch. Position-adjusted. Pace-adjusted. Weighted into a 0–100 composite. Tier classification applied. Result: a complete MIR Score with full breakdown, ready to publish.

Step 5 — Optional Deep Stats Layer

Coaches who paste in the official box score on top of the play-by-play unlock the deeper stats layer: True FG%, official minutes played, official +/-. Box scores are always more accurate than play-by-play estimates — The Engine uses both when available.
