Full circle

Every child at the centre.

Each role adds only what they saw, and nothing counts until the right person confirms it. Together it becomes a record no one can fake and no one can buy.

Seven roles. One verified record.

Every child's record is co-signed by the people who saw them play. No upload-your-own highlight reel. No pay-to-be-discovered.

Talent is everywhere. Selection isn't.

Three things decide who gets seen, before anyone watches them play.
