Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Traditional scouting requires a lot of manual work reading reports, watching matches, and consolidating notes across many leagues and players. This solution uses generative AI to quickly analyze large volumes of player data and text reports so scouts and coaches can focus on decisions instead of data collection.

Value Drivers

Faster player shortlisting and comparisonReduced manual analysis of reports and statisticsMore consistent, data‑driven scouting decisionsAbility to cover more leagues/players with the same staffImproved collaboration between scouts, analysts, and coaches

Strategic Moat

Domain-specific scouting workflows and historical club data combined with proprietary evaluation criteria (playing style, tactical fit, budget, league constraints) baked into prompts and templates make the setup harder to copy than generic sports analytics.

Differentiation Factor

Focuses specifically on football scouting workflows on top of Amazon Bedrock and OpenAI models, showing how a club can operationalize LLMs around internal scouting data rather than just using generic chatbots.
