Risk Advisor

TL;DR

The Risk Advisor combines 10 indicators per player into a 0–100 score with a green/yellow/red traffic light and a textual recommendation. The indicators cross GPS Load (ACWR distance / HSR / sprint / HMLD), neuromuscular (Vmax%), wellness (Hooper, pain), recent injuries, medical “not fit”, physio pain, and anxiety. On pro / enterprise the recommendation is written by AI; on essential it is rule-based text. Definitions for each acronym in the glossary.

For sales

Problem: S&Cs cross-reference ACWR, Hooper, pain, and injuries by hand in spreadsheets. CÉNIT does it in a single view with configurable thresholds and a daily snapshot for post-injury analysis.
Use cases: squad semaphore before every training, evidence-based load reduction shared with the coaching staff, retrospective analysis of which indicator anticipated each injury.
Plans: module on all plans. AI only on pro and enterprise; post-injury analysis and weight adjustment are also gated.
Differentiator: weights aligned with scientific consensus (Williams 2017, Drew/Finch 2016), dynamic per-org thresholds, daily snapshots with long retention.

How staff use it

Access and permissions

Risk Advisor — all staff roles. Head of Performance, Psychologist, and Sporting Director additionally see mental indicators (anxiety).
The History and Weights sub-pages are documented separately.

Step-by-step flows

Main table — list ordered by descending score, columns with raw value + level chip per indicator.
Player detail — side drawer with breakdown of the 10 indicators, each one’s contribution to the score, and the recommendation.
Automatic notifications — when a player turns red, Head of Performance, Sporting Director, and S&C are notified.

Settings → Risks. Configurable thresholds per org:

ACWR ok / warn (default 0.80–1.30 / 0.70–1.40). Apply to all 4 ACWRs (distance, HSR, sprint, HMLD).
Hooper ok / warn (default 14 / 18).
Vmax% ok / warn (default 90 / 80).
Thresholds for pain, recent injuries, physio pain, and anxiety.
ACWR method — RMA (default, 7d/28d windows) or EWMA (Williams 2017 opt-in).

FAQ

Why is a player yellow without being injured? The default is yellow when an indicator has insufficient data (e.g., ACWR with no sessions in 28 days, or Vmax with fewer than 5 sessions). It is not an alert — it is transparency about what cannot be measured.
Does the AI fail? If the AI service does not respond, the system falls back to the static recommendation automatically and shows the reason for the fallback.

How the player sees it

Player surface: N/A. Risk Advisor is staff-only. The player does not see their own score — the decision is deliberate (the data is clinical, not self-contained, and requires interpretation by the coaching staff).

Data and metrics

Formulas

The score is a weighted blend of the indicators, with weights aligned to current scientific consensus (Williams 2017, Drew/Finch 2016). Each indicator contributes by its traffic-light level (green / yellow / red). The exact weights are configurable per organization and managed inside the app.

ACWR is computed for the four metrics (distance, HSR, sprint, HMLD), all in m/day. Ratio acute_7d / chronic_28d.

Vmax% is computed against the all-time peak, requires ≥5 sessions to be valid, and applies decay for veterans (≥30 years old → MAX of the last 12 months) to avoid penalizing chronic slowness.

Integrations

Wellness — Hooper + pain.
GPS Load — ACWR distance / HSR / sprint / HMLD + Vmax%.
Medical — provides the “not fit to train” flag.
Physio — pain reported in physio sessions.
Psychology — anxiety score (gated by role).
AI (Claude) — textual recommendation in Spanish, max 200 tokens, 3 sentences. Pro and Enterprise only.

Limitations

Current post-injury analysis is manual retrospective (see Weights); automatic per-org weight adjustment is pending.
