Paper to Pipeline: Turning Scouting Reports into a Production App with Claude

Scouting reports arrive as PDFs and screenshots. Run them through Claude Vision, pull structured data out the other side, and stand the whole thing up as a working application.

Who this hour is for

Three people this session was built for.

You love the sport, and you want the work to be rigorous

Sports analytics done seriously is data science with a scoreboard. You leave having watched a real sports question worked with professional tools.

You do adjacent work and want to see how the sports version runs

The methods transfer in both directions. You see where sports data is different and where your existing skills already apply.

You are deciding whether this field is worth your learning time

One free session, one real question, taught live by someone who does the work. You will know by the end of the hour.

A live build, not a lecture

Turning Unstructured Reports into Structured Data

A great deal of sports information never arrives as a tidy table. It arrives as a scanned scouting report, a screenshot of a stat sheet, or a PDF someone exported years ago. This session runs those documents through a vision model, pulls structured fields out the other side, and puts the whole path behind a working application rather than leaving it as a notebook.

You will watch this get built

  • A Claude Vision pipeline that reads scanned scouting reports and returns structured fields
  • A validation step that catches a bad extraction before it reaches the database
  • A working app around the pipeline, with upload, review and export

You will leave knowing

  • Prompting a vision model for structured extraction rather than description
  • Handling the documents that break a pipeline: rotated scans, handwriting, multi-column layouts
  • Checking extraction quality when there is no ground truth to compare against
  • Wiring the extraction step into an application instead of leaving it as a script
Who teaches it

Taught live by the person who does the work.

The sports industry moves fast. Managing the pace of evolving technology, data, and AI isn't optional - it's imperative. Our Analytics team was looking for a partner to meet us where we are, to help us in the continued investment of our people and capabilities without pulling us away from the work that matters. AthlyticZ delivers exactly that: a structured, practitioner-led platform that fits how modern sports analytics groups actually operate.

Questions people actually ask.

Is it actually free?

Yes. Attending live is free, and there is no card involved. You register so we can send you the join link.

What do I need?

A browser and the join link we send you. There is nothing to install to attend.

What if I cannot make it live?

Register anyway. Afterwards we send you our write-up of what got built, and the invitation to the next session. Attending live is the free part; everything that outlives the hour belongs to the Masterclass.

What level is this?

The session page states the level under the title. Sessions are taught as live builds, so watching the decisions get made is useful one level up and one level down from the stated one.

What happens after I register?

You get a confirmation with a calendar link now, the join link before the session, and our write-up of what got built afterwards. That is the whole of it.
