Frequently asked
The questions clubs
ask us most.
What does Priori measure?
Priori measures your team's tactical behavior and your players' decision-making skills. Using match video and spatial tracking data, Priori quantifies the tactics of attacking & defending effectiveness, team transition behavior, and individual player contributions to team tactics. These are proprietary, science-based metrics and models built around how players' decisions interact in space and time during real match play. Priori helps you augment your tactical intuition with a data-driven lens.
Is this another expected-goals variant with a new name?
No. Expected-goals models score outcomes. Priori scores decisions, which occur upstream of the ultimate outcome. Each decision is scored against the best option available at that moment, from the full spatial picture of all twenty-two players.
Will it tell our coaches what to do?
No. Priori is collaborative, not prescriptive. It exists to validate or challenge what your staff already believes, not to dictate tactics.
How long does it take to get running?
Under ten minutes to onboard a new account, and each match processes in less than an hour.
What do we need to provide?
All you need to upload is a tactical video file of the match you'd like analyzed. You can optionally upload existing tracking data and event data to further enrich the analyses, but these are not necessary to get started.
Do we need a large analytics staff to use Priori?
No. Priori is designed so coaches or sporting executives with no coding experience can use it directly as a software application, while simultaneously preserving the option for data analysts or engineers to dig into the raw data.
Can our own data team build on it?
Yes. Our SDK and raw underlying notebook access gives data-native users the tools to build their own metrics or models on top of Priori's structured representations of the game.
Does it work for scouting our opponents? How about for recruitment?
Yes. If you'd like to analyze an upcoming opponent's style of play, upload one of their recent matches and see the same familiar tactical breakdowns as you do when you upload your own matches.
Same for analyzing a player on another team you are scouting to join your club: upload a match the player participated in, and then dig in!
