Jacob Mariner
A recruiting website became a living athlete intelligence system.
A Class of 2028 athlete required more than a personal site. The platform had to organize film, performance evidence, athletic history, academics, recruiting context, and new information as his career continues to develop.

The challenge
The source is part of the story.
Athlete information arrives through channels that were created for different purposes. Instagram posts, team announcements, tournament content, game film, event graphics, school rosters, track databases, recruiting conversations, academic information, and future statistics cannot responsibly be flattened into one undifferentiated profile.
Information arrives through
- Instagram posts
- Team announcements
- Tournament content
- Game film
- Event graphics
- School rosters
- Track databases
- Recruiting conversations
- Academic information
- Future statistics
The record distinguishes
- Verified fact
- Athlete-published
- Team-published
- Third-party verified
- Contextual
- Unsupported inference
Intelligence architecture
Information becomes useful when its context survives the journey.
The current experience already organizes sources, evidence, the athlete record, and recruiting pathways. The final layer is an explicitly labeled future architecture—not a claim about what is operating today.
Operating now
- 01Source layer
Information enters from distinct public publishers and formats.
- Team records
- Tournament records
- Athletic.net
- MileSplit
- School athletics
- Game film
- Media
- 02Evidence layer
Every usable claim retains enough context to inspect.
- Source URL
- Publisher
- Date
- Claim
- Verification class
- Media
- Context
- 03Athlete intelligence record
The evolving profile connects evidence without erasing its provenance.
- Identity
- Basketball
- Track & field
- Academics
- Film
- Performance
- Programs
- Recognition
- Recruiting context
- 04Experience layer
The record becomes a clear recruiting and social experience.
- Recruiting profile
- Social profile
- Film
- Athlete snapshot
- Current run
- Contact pathways
Provenance is a feature
The system does not treat every claim equally.
Published performance, team records, verified databases, athlete-supplied information, and contextual evidence are identified according to their source rather than blended into an unsupported profile.
