SPORTS ANALYTICS CONSULTING BUSINESS PLAN

I. Executive Summary

Company Description

EdgeFrame Analytics (name chosen to reflect our focus on framing performance advantages) is a premier sports analytics consulting firm launching in 2026 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. We operate in the sports analytics and performance consulting sector, converting complex performance and operational data into strategic advantages for elite sports organizations. Our core offerings are recurring subscriptions, deep-dive project consulting, and custom model development that combine high-end data science, machine learning, and deep sports domain expertise. One-liner: We turn data into on-field decisions and measurable roster and medical outcomes.

We deliver services as a dedicated partner to front offices, coaches, and medical staff across the U.S. sports ecosystem through model deployment, bespoke analyses, integration with existing workflows, and ongoing support. What sets us apart is the blend of operational sports experience and production-grade ML models tuned for team timelines and regulatory constraints. Target customers are professional and high-level collegiate teams, medical performance units, and front offices. Short-term goals: sign three anchor subscriptions in year one and validate ROI with win-contribution and injury-reduction metrics. Long-term goals: scale to 25 enterprise clients and license core models to leagues and broadcasters.

Problem

Sports organizations collect large volumes of biometric and performance data but lack the internal, specialized expertise to turn that data into clear, game-day actions. Decision-makers receive fragmented reports and often cannot translate model outputs into coaching playbooks, creating suboptimal player performance and increased injury risk.

Existing approaches leave gaps: fragmented delivery, high fixed costs to scale data science, wasted budgets on ineffective analytics tools, and weak integration with front-office, coaching, and medical workflows. A dedicated consulting partner that combines advanced data science, machine learning, and deep sports domain expertise is therefore necessary to bridge analysis and on-field decision-making.

Solution

Sports organizations drown in wearable, game, and scouting data but lack the specialist talent to turn it into decisions, causing missed recruitment opportunities, suboptimal tactics, and preventable injuries. We turn data into game-day decisions that improve availability and outcomes.

We deliver strategic game-day recommendations, sport-specific predictive models, biometric injury flags, front-office evaluation audits, and clear intelligence reports that bridge data science and on-field coaching.

Mission Statement

We empower sports organizations with advanced, bespoke analytics that turn complex data into actionable intelligence for wins on the field and efficiency in the front office. We commit to integrity, continuous innovation, and close collaboration so clients make faster, smarter decisions. We aim to be the most trusted collaborative partner in sports analytics by delivering measurable competitive and operational results.

Key Success Factors

Success hinges on the team, proprietary models, exclusive data, rapid profitability, and measurable client outcomes.

• Specialized team: data scientists plus sports experts providing a hybrid competitive perspective.
• Proprietary IP: algorithms and models that create defensible, repeatable insights.
• Exclusive data partnerships: unique inputs that improve prediction accuracy and client value.
• Rapid path to profitability: breakeven by August 2026, ensuring near-term financial stability.
• High-margin subscription model: target 85% recurring revenue by 2030 tied to measurable ROI (injury reduction, win-loss).

Financial Summary

The company projects an initial loss followed by rapid profitability driven by billable rates of $275–$415 per hour and scaling marketing spend.

Financial requirements: minimum cash reserve $644,000 (Jul-26); marketing budget $50,000 (2026), $75,000 (2027), $100,000 (2028); breakeven Aug-26; full payback in 21 months. One-liner: plan requires $644k cash and staged marketing to hit breakeven in month 8.

Outlook: positive EBITDA growth to $5,602,000 by 2030 and reported ROE 12.18%.

Funding Requirements

We seek a $1.0–$1.2M seed round to cover 2026 CapEx, pre-revenue marketing, the CEO salary, and the minimum working-capital cushion to reach commercial launch.
