What we do
Match context, player form, captain reads. The desk publishes a daily edition, a weekly form laboratory, and a corrections log that's public. We do not sell picks, we do not promote betting platforms, and we do not accept payment to feature a player.

How we work in detail
The desk works in three steps. Step 1: read the squad sheet, the pitch report, and the form laboratory. Step 2: compute the role-fit score, the venue record, and the matchup score. Step 3: publish the captain lock, the differential, and the hedge. The three steps are published, not secret.

Extended reading
The about page is the desk's identity surface. The team is the desk's editorial surface. The corrections log is the desk's accountability surface. The three are designed to be read together — an about page without a team is an identity surface without an editorial line; a team without an about page is an editorial line without an identity. The desk's editorial system is the three, not any one alone.
