What scoutSMART does

scoutSMART (legally Competitive Sports Analysis, LLC) is an Atlanta-based, founder-led SaaS company that operates a recruiting analytics platform for college football coaches. The platform aggregates hundreds of athlete statistics, Hudl video links, social media handles, high school coach notes, and academic performance (GPA) into unified recruit profiles. Its differentiating analytical layer is a four-part proprietary scoring framework — statSCORE (position-based on-field performance), skillSCORE (NFL-scout-designed skill rating), smartSCORE (academic performance), and fitSCORE (program-fit composite) — plus a unique 'Disrupter Score' intended to predict next-level impact; all score 1–9 and are configurable per program. Technology is delivered through three access modes: a desktop web application, an iOS mobile app (scoutsmart-firstview), and an API data feed integration into existing recruiting systems.

The product portfolio comprises the core scoutSMART Recruiting Platform, the scoutVISION video-based recruiting tool (launched August 2025), and a flag football product line (launched August 2024) with tiered packaging — Free trial, Select at $500/year, and an upcoming Prime tier. Pricing is annual subscription-based, accessed via a freemium 30-day trial with Calendly onboarding and email support. Distribution combines direct sales to college coaches, community partnerships (High School Football America, GACA, FHS7v7A, Compete24), content marketing through an active blog and social channels, and a player-recognition flywheel (All-Academic Team, Player of the Week, Breast Cancer Awareness campaign).

The company is privately held, operates with 1-10 employees, has no disclosed institutional funding, and is led by Founder/CEO Diane Bloodworth. Its stated quantifiable outcomes for customers include up to a 25% reduction in time to decide who to offer, and 10–15% less time spent identifying recruits of interest, in addition to travel cost reductions for recruiting visits. Intellectual property consists of registered trademarks on scoutSMART and the four scoring products; no patents, regulatory credentials, or formal AI/ML publications are evidenced in the source materials.
