⚙️  How the scouting works

Six signals from a live GitHub profile, each mapped to a football stat — read straight from GitHub's GraphQL API. No surveys, no self-reporting. Just the commits.

Your overall is the headline. Raw stats cap at 88 — the 90s are a legacy gate, earned with years and influence, so one heroic year won't crown you an Icon. Your position and archetype are read from your stat shape: a shooting spike scouts a poacher up top, a defending-and-passing lean scouts a deep playmaker.

Every card walks out in a finish:

🏆  Achievements & Awards

Standout cards earn trophies, shown on the scout report and carried into duels like a boxer's belts — a duel showcases what each player brings, it never awards anything itself. Click a trophy for its story: every win is attached to a year (or a World Cup edition) with the reason it was given. Rendered from pre-baked rotating sprites (no 3D runtime — see scripts/bake-award-sprites.ts):

The rulebook

Every scout fetches the profile's full history as per-year totals: commits, PRs, reviews, issues and private contributions, for every calendar year since the account was born. Yearly awards are judged on one score per year:

yearScore = 4·log(commits) + 3·log(PRs) + 3·log(reviews) + 2·log(issues) + 2·log(private)

The logs are the anti-spam mechanism. Each signal saturates: 20,000 commits score 17.2, barely ahead of the 13.2 that 2,000 earn. Meanwhile a year of 800 commits, 80 PRs, 80 reviews and 40 issues scores 26. Breadth collects from every term while volume on one axis stalls. There is no balance requirement, though: a commits-only kernel maintainer still scores on the volume terms alone.

Every trophy except the Spanish gift also requires overall 80+. That's a floor, not a driver. It keeps thin profiles off the podium and decides nothing else.

Ballon d'Or

Judged against your own career, so it needs at least two years of history. A year wins when it clears all three:

1. 2,000+ raw contributions. No Ballon d'Or on a quiet year, however spiky it looks against the rest.
2. Score 16+. Strong in absolute terms, not just relative ones.
3. One of two paths:
   • The spike: 1.2× your career-median year. One undeniable season in a modest career.
   • The elite: score 19.5+, ratio waived. A sustained-great career has a huge median no single year can tower over, and those years are exactly what the award exists for.

Repeats climb a ladder on the card's overall: 80 holds one, 87 unlocks a second, 94 a third. Icons can take a fourth, and only for a monster year (score 28+). The current year competes while still in progress. It can only under-score, never over-score, so nothing is ever awarded on a projection.

WC Golden Ball

One per World Cup edition. For candidates (overall 80+, activity in a WC year) the scout fetches contributions inside each tournament window and judges them era-adjusted, because GitHub in 2010 was a different sport:

The pace test compares your daily rate inside the window to your daily rate across that same year. Tournament form means rising above your own pace, not an absolute quota. The current year is paced over its elapsed days, not 365, so a routine mid-year can't masquerade as tournament form against a diluted average.

Golden Boot

The one trophy held on current form, not kept for life. No year attached, re-judged on every scout: a scoring position (ST/RW/CAM) and Shooting 80+. Star power is the shooting stat, so this is the finisher whose repos keep hitting the net. Lose the form, lose the boot.

World Cup Trophy

Spain won WC26, and every profile whose GitHub location reads Spain lifts the trophy with them: bronze cards included, no floors, no other conditions. It keys off the country GitHub reports, decided before the flag picker exists, so switching your flag to 🇪🇸 mints nothing.

The whole cabinet is computed server-side at scout time and cached with the card. Duels never award anything. A corner showcases what each card walked in with.
