Actions
Lead every pitch with Identity (50) — it is the sellable edge.
Fan Economy at 41 is the ceiling. Fix it first: proven willingness of the audience to transact — commerce, deals, gate.
Lowest single input: Fan Economy · Conversion quality (30). Assign an owner and a 30-day target.
No proven commerce signal — run one low-risk drop (signed or game-worn) before quoting deal value.
Heritage angle is thin — verify family/national ties before claiming diaspora reach in a deck.
Re-score in 90 days; trigger an early re-score on any level change, viral moment, or signed partner.
What we still need
No verified social handle — Social scores run on modeled defaults, not measured audience.
Hometown missing — diaspora and identity reach are under-counted.
School not matched to the institution index — program baseline is modeled from division only.
Position unknown — positional demand defaults to the league median.
