What it does
§01 · Platform surface
01Archetype-based scoring
Every player is mapped to a tactical role profile calibrated against the destination club's playing model. Benchmarks are client-specific and rebuilt per engagement. The archetype defines which metrics count, not the position. Scoring is non-linear and league-adjusted.
Archetypes
LW_CARRIER
Role calibrated to club reference player
Progressiv vingspiller som truer med bæringer og duellvinning på venstresiden.
Nøkkelmetrics: PR/90, Duel%, xG/90
CM_CONTROL8
Role calibrated to club reference player
Kontrollerende 8er med høy pasningspresisjon og defensiv disiplin.
Nøkkelmetrics: Pass%, Int/90, Duel%
CB_ANCHOR
Role calibrated to club reference player
Dominerende anker-CB med høy duellandel og ball-playing kvaliteter.
Nøkkelmetrics: Duel%, Int/90, Pass%
CF_MOBILE_LINKING
Role calibrated to club reference player
Mobil spiss som kobler spillet, presser høyt og er farlig i feltet.
Nøkkelmetrics: G/90, xG/90, Press/90
02Squad-state decision layer
Each player gets a verdict tier — Strong Buy, Buy, Monitor, Pass — combined with a squad-fit assessment against Viking's current depth, contract window, and recruitment priority. The platform tells you not just who is good, but who to act on now.

Why it matters
§02 · Decision support
Most scouting still runs on gut feel.
A wrong signing at top-flight level is a significant financial and squad-slot cost. Traditional scouting produces long shortlists and subjective narratives. CFA produces scored, versioned, defensible verdicts — anchored to your club's own playing model, not a generic "good player" filter.

§03 · Live development case
CFA has been developed against a Norwegian top-flight playing model as a live case. The platform's archetype targets, benchmarks, and squad-state layer are calibrated to that club's Eliteserien output —
xx.x% possession, xx.x PPDA, x.x xG per match, xx.x% pass completion.

For a new club engagement, the archetype system and squad-state model are rebuilt against that club's playing model — typically a two-week recalibration before the first shortlist is delivered. No two clubs share the same scoring layer.
How it works
§04 · Engagement
01
Playing model intake
We map your tactical principles, squad state, and recruitment priorities. Reference players are selected per role.
02
Archetype calibration
The ten archetypes are retargeted against your reference players. Benchmarks, weights, and thresholds are set per role.
03
Shortlist delivery
A ranked shortlist is produced against your current squad-state priorities, with per-target scouting briefs.
04
Window support
Platform stays live through the transfer window — shortlists update as new data arrives.
