HEADROOM — deciding where development attention goes
A sports-development instrument that ranks players by how much value could be unlocked by fixing a trainable limiting factor.
Field notes
HEADROOM proposes allocating coaching attention through a Developability Index rather than a conventional player-quality ranking. The described workflow screens projects with four questions, scores four factors from 0 to 100, identifies the limiting constraint, and converts the result into return per hour. Its example gives a 21-year-old wide forward a score of 76, alongside a moderate interference-risk flag. The homepage does not expose the underlying scoring interface.
