In short

What does Agility build for sports analytics?

Agility builds production-grade ML prediction systems for sports tech, betting platforms, and analytics teams: data pipelines, feature engineering, calibrated models and daily automated grading. Our Soccer Grade A Over/Under model runs at an 89.2% win rate in live production grading, and we shipped Soccer, NBA and NASCAR in one month.

Services

What we build

Four service areas covering the full sports analytics stack, from raw data to live production predictions.

Multi-sport prediction platforms

Production-grade ML models trained on millions of historical records, calibrated for accuracy, not inflated for demo impressiveness.

  • Soccer ensemble models (70K+ matches, 10 leagues)
  • NBA XGBoost points and moneyline prediction models
  • NASCAR track-type-specific model selection
  • Custom sport modelling for new domains

Feature engineering and data integration

The quality of prediction starts with the quality of features. We build the pipelines that turn raw sports data into predictive signals.

  • Historical data pipelines: FootyStats, Sportradar, SportsDataIO
  • Pre-match feature engineering at scale
  • Real-time odds integration and movement tracking
  • Multi-source data fusion with deduplication

Automated prediction pipelines

Daily automated pipelines that fetch data, generate predictions, store results, validate output, and settle grades, without manual intervention.

  • GitHub Actions automation: Fetch, Predict, Store, Validate
  • Prediction storage and automated grading settlement
  • Automated result collection and performance tracking
  • Model performance monitoring and alerting

ROI and performance analytics

Confidence-based grading systems and financial performance analytics that tell you what is working and what needs recalibration.

  • Confidence-based grading systems (A+ through D)
  • Sharpe ratio, variance, and risk analytics
  • Break-even analysis and ROI tracking by grade
  • Model interpretability and feature importance reporting

Results

Why Agility

Why sports teams choose Agility

Production, not research

We ship systems that run daily in production, not Jupyter notebooks. GitHub Actions automation, PostgreSQL output, live grading.

ROI-first model design

Models are calibrated for real-world betting value, not academic accuracy metrics. Grade A selections outperform across all sports.

Multi-sport architecture experience

Soccer, NBA, and NASCAR shipped in one month. We know how to parallelise sport-specific modelling without duplicating effort.

End-to-end ownership

Data collection, feature engineering, model training, pipeline automation, and analytics. One team, no gaps.

FAQ

Sports analytics AI: common questions

Data needs, time to production, accuracy, APIs and other sports.

What data do you need to start building?

We need historical match or event results with pre-match statistics available for both participants. The more history and the richer the feature set, the better the model performance. We can advise on the best data sources for your target sport.

How long does it take from data to a production pipeline?

Approximately 4 to 6 weeks per sport for a full pipeline including feature engineering, model training, validation, and automation. We shipped three sports in one month by running in parallel, so timeline depends on scope, not just complexity.

What accuracy should I expect?

Our Soccer Grade A Over/Under model achieves 89.2% win rate. NBA Grade A moneyline achieves 72.3% win rate with +18.5% ROI. These are calibrated figures from live production grading, not backtest inflation.

Can you expose predictions via API?

Yes. Our PostgreSQL output can be wrapped in REST API endpoints, allowing your platform or application to query predictions programmatically. We can build this as part of the engagement.

Can you build for sports not listed?

Yes. Cricket, tennis, rugby, and esports are all viable given appropriate historical data with pre-event statistics. Contact us with your sport and we will advise on data requirements and expected model performance.
