What it does

§01 · Platform surface
01Archetype-based scoring

Every player is manually mapped to one of ten tactical archetypes, each anchored to a current Viking FK reference player. The archetype defines which metrics count, not the position. Scoring is non-linear and league-adjusted.

Archetypes
LW_CARRIER
Referanse: Edvin Austbø
Progressiv vingspiller som truer med bæringer og duellvinning på venstresiden.
Nøkkelmetrics: PR/90, Duel%, xG/90
CM_CONTROL8
Referanse: Kristoffer Askildsen
Kontrollerende 8er med høy pasningspresisjon og defensiv disiplin.
Nøkkelmetrics: Pass%, Int/90, Duel%
CB_ANCHOR
Referanse: Henrik Falchener
Dominerende anker-CB med høy duellandel og ball-playing kvaliteter.
Nøkkelmetrics: Duel%, Int/90, Pass%
CF_MOBILE_LINKING
Referanse: Peter Christiansen
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 Viking FK's playing model as a live case. The platform's archetype targets, benchmarks, and squad-state layer are currently calibrated to Viking FK's Eliteserien 2025 output: 50.6% possession, 10.6 PPDA, 2.0 xG per match, 81.4% 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.
