CADi Competition

Which decisions are improving team performance?

Investigate selection, substitutions, load management and recruitment, comparing plausible alternatives to inform the next decision.

Plan your deployment

Bring us a problem, a suspected opportunity or a result that does not add up. We can explore how CADi Competition could help, starting with your question and the evidence available.

A substitution second-guessed for a season

Selection, substitutions, load management and recruitment can change a season. Performance statistics describe what happened, but they do not establish what a different choice would have achieved.

CADi Competition investigates those choices in the context of the team, its constraints and the evidence available, helping coaches and sporting directors decide what to examine or test next.

What CADi Competition does

CADi Competition examines selection, substitutions, load management and recruitment under a declared causal model. It compares plausible alternatives and explains what the evidence supports about performance and opportunity cost.

The result supports coaches, analysts, medical teams and sporting directors. It does not make selections, manage injuries, recruit players or guarantee a competitive result.

What you get

Consequences of the call

Investigate what a decision may have changed, with the evidence and assumptions stated.

Alternatives to examine

Compare plausible choices where the model and data support an estimate.

A shared basis for review

Give coaches, analysts and leadership the reasoning behind a finding, rather than another isolated performance statistic.

Lessons for the next decision

Use the findings to shape the next question or experiment and test whether the change improves outcomes.

Who it's for

Professional teams & clubs

Organisations whose substitution, selection, injury and recruitment calls carry real competitive and financial weight, and are constantly questioned.

Sporting directors & ownership

Those who must answer for the big calls to the board and the recruitment committee, and want evidence of what each one truly cost.

How the engine applies

CADi Competition analyses the relevant decision history alongside your existing systems. We agree the question, available evidence and causal assumptions with your team, then examine the reasoning and plausible alternatives.

The people responsible retain the decision. Historical analysis can deepen into a continuous evidence feed where useful; the findings support review and learning rather than replacing professional judgement.

Where this is today

CADi is in production - its engines are live in the cloud - with nine UK patent applications pending. CADi Competition evidences the reasoning and opportunity cost behind a team's decisions; it does not make the call and does not guarantee a result.

Causal analysis runs on a declared model of the decision environment. Its conclusions depend on that model, the available evidence and explicit assumptions; estimates are analytical approximations. The engine has been tested against injected, synthetic and real ingested data. Live-outcome validation is completed against each client's own outcomes during deployment.
