Player-team fit review, supported by structured evidence.
ScoutLink compatibility scoring compares coach-led player evidence with scout-entered team needs, role expectations and squad gaps. It is decision support, not a guarantee of trials, contracts or selection.
What the score is designed to do
ScoutLink compatibility scoring supports player-team fit review by comparing coach-led player evidence with each scout setup. Scouts can record team needs, squad gaps, playing style, role expectations and long-term goals. ScoutLink then turns that context into an explainable fit signal.

Frequently asked questions
Does ScoutLink publish the compatibility formula?
No. ScoutLink explains score drivers at a high level, but the exact methodology, weightings and thresholds are proprietary to Stratex Analytics.
Does a high compatibility score guarantee a trial?
No. Compatibility scoring supports player-team fit review. It does not guarantee trials, contracts, academy interest or selection.
What information shapes compatibility?
ScoutLink looks at scout-entered team context, coach-led player evidence, player role, attributes, match output, physical profile and evidence confidence.
Can scouts use the score on its own?
No. The score is a decision-support signal. Scouts should still review match evidence, player context, coach notes and their own football judgement.
Can coaches change the score directly?
No. Coaches add evidence such as attributes, match facts, fixtures and videos. ScoutLink then interprets that evidence through the scout setup.
Does ScoutLink rank every player publicly?
No. ScoutLink is not an open public ranking board for children. Visibility is controlled inside the product.
Why does data confidence matter?
A profile with more relevant evidence gives scouts more confidence. Lower evidence confidence should prompt more match facts, fixtures or approved videos before relying heavily on a score.
