Court Signal
CURRENTWho actually drove NBA impact? Lineup-adjusted player impact, role, and value across seasons — with player biographies and the research receipts behind every claim.
Independent sports intelligence
The evidence behind
the number.
SIGNAL is the front door to Roderic Sports Intelligence: one Signal per sport for player and game evidence, Rinehart Ratings for team strength, and the methods, versions, and uncertainty behind every number — with forecasts labeled forecasts only when they earn it.

Every question routes to the instrument that owns it — two of them are private and say so.
Players & games — one sport, one owner
Teams — one owner for every team-strength question
- Which team is strongest within a covered sport?
→ Rinehart Ratings
NFL · NBA · CFB · CBB boards; MLB historical only · what it owns — Rinehart Ratings →
This site — the questions SIGNAL itself owns
- What is actually current right now — and what just shipped? → Status
- What standards must every metric meet?
→ Methods
formulas live with each product; the shared doctrine lives here
- Which experiments failed or stayed research-only? → Signal Lab
Private — real, documented, not public
The family
One sport, one instrument, one kind of truth
Each Signal owns its sport's mathematics outright. No formula is copied between sports, and there is no cross-sport score — same name, different math per sport.
Gridiron Signal
RESEARCH PREVIEWWho changed expected football value? Player, unit, play, drive, and game intelligence — and where the evidence gets hard to identify, it says so, with identifiability measured rather than assumed.
Hardball Signal
RESEARCH PREVIEWWho created MLB value — at what rate, in what role, and how sure can we be? Independently calculated analytics across players, games, and events; team strength belongs to Rinehart Ratings.
Pitch Signal
FUTUREFuture soccer intelligence — the shared standards adapted to possession, space, and events. A concept: no models, no data, no date.

Team strength
Rinehart Ratings owns team strength
Signal sites evaluate sport-specific player and game evidence; Rinehart Ratings is not another Signal. It owns Power, Résumé, Composite, current boards, forecasts, and postseason paths — covering both Tuesday's college basketball and Sunday's NFL with separate models per sport, never a universal score, never a cross-sport rank.
Shared principles

- ONE TRUTH PER REPOSITORY
- CURRENTNESS IS VISIBLE
- RETROSPECTIVE ≠ FORECAST
- UNCERTAINTY STAYS ON THE PAGE
- FAILED EXPERIMENTS DO NOT DISAPPEAR
- SOURCES AND MODEL VERSIONS TRAVEL WITH THE NUMBER
Who produces and who consumes — the whole map, with the one-way rule — lives on the About page.
