Data & Methodology

Two kinds of information

Source facts — name, record, height, reach, stance, weight class, opponents, dates and results — come from public reporting and reference sources, and are stored with the source and the date retrieved.

Fight Blueprint derived intelligence — Blueprint Score, subscores, tendencies, style fingerprints, weaknesses, matchup analysis, camp recommendations and similarity — is produced by Fight Blueprint's own analysis layer from those facts. It is clearly presented as analysis, not as third-party fact.

Confidence and coverage

Every report shows how strongly it is supported: how much evidence exists, how recent it is, and how many independent sources contributed. Low-coverage reports are labelled as early reads rather than settled patterns.

Discipline awareness

Attributes and terminology are constrained to the athlete's sport. A boxing report never shows grappling attributes or cage-specific language.

Missing data

When a value is unknown it is shown as unknown. Fight Blueprint does not substitute zero for missing data, and does not display historical progression unless dated evidence exists.

Source governance

Sources are registered internally and classified (approved, needs review, restricted, licensed, first-party, public factual). Sources marked restricted are excluded from the enrichment pipeline.
