Club intelligence
Club-wide development visibility
Individual observations are useful to a coach. Aggregated across players, teams and age groups, they show the technical department development patterns no single coach can see.
Aggregation
Player and team development patterns
Evidence is weighted and combined into development signals about individual players, whole teams and each age group.
A single note about one player in one session is weak evidence. The same pattern, from several coaches, across several weeks, against the same principle, is a signal worth acting on.
Forma does that aggregation continuously, so patterns surface while there is still time to respond to them rather than at the end of the season.
The same evidence reads three ways: what is happening for one player, what is happening for their team, and what is happening across an age group. A pattern that looks like an individual issue in one squad is often an age-group delivery gap once you can see all of them together.
Focus
An attention queue instead of a data dump
The dashboard's job is to be short.
What changed
Change detection highlights what moved since the last brief, rather than restating the whole picture.
What needs a decision
Items are surfaced as things a technical decision-maker may want to look at, with the evidence behind them.
Where to look
Every signal drills back down to the observations, players and principles it came from.
Over time
Development signals across a season, not a snapshot
Age-group visibility is only useful if it has a history behind it.
Signals carry their own timeline. A technical director can see when a pattern first appeared, whether it is strengthening or fading, and which evidence has arrived since the last time they looked at it.
Because the underlying evidence is recorded against the club's own principles and behaviours, comparisons hold across seasons and across coaching changes rather than resetting each August.

Rhythm
The weekly technical brief
A recurring written summary of the academy's development week.
Forma drafts a narrative brief covering the week: what the evidence shows, what changed, and which items are worth the technical department's time. It is written to be read in a few minutes before a staff meeting.
Like every AI workflow in Forma, the brief is a draft grounded in your club's own methodology and evidence. It informs a conversation between football people; it does not replace one.
Ask
AI Technical Director chat
Ask questions about your club and get answers grounded in your own data.
Technical staff can ask questions in plain language — about an age group, a principle, a period of the season — and get an answer assembled from that club's methodology and captured evidence.
Context is scoped to your club at query time. No other club's methodology or evidence can be used to answer your question, and yours is never used to answer theirs.
Talk it through
See it against your own club
A demo is the easiest way to see what the dashboard looks like once a club has a season of evidence behind it. Book a demo and we will walk through it with your age groups, your methodology and your season in mind.
