AIR, HPE, the NSCAP Grade, Athletic Efficiency Index, position fit and athlete comparables work together to translate verified combine results into a structured athletic profile.
Verified testing
NSCAP Grade 0.0–5.0
Athletic Efficiency Index

Analysis confidence
Human Performance Engine
The engine behind the report.
The HPE ingests standardized performance data, checks eligibility, normalizes position context and produces an athlete-level analysis built around measurable athletic traits.
For football, the official core tests are the 40-yard dash, Pro Agility, 3-Cone, Vertical, Broad Jump and Bench Press. Athletes need at least three official tests spanning at least three athletic categories for an NSCAP Grade.
What the HPE does
1. Validates eligible test inputs
Quality control
2. Normalizes position groups
Context
3. Scores official tests
0.0–5.0
4. Generates trait indicators
AEI + fit
5. Identifies comparables
Similarity
6. Produces analysis confidence
Evidence
NSCAP Grade
One continuous athletic score. Position context around it.
The NSCAP Grade is a continuous 0.0–5.0 athletic performance score built from eligible official tests. Height and weight provide context but do not inflate the grade. AEI remains a separate indicator so acceleration / force / velocity information can add insight without distorting the core score.

Acceleration and force/velocity insight
The NSCAP Grade measures athletic performance from standardized tests. It should be used alongside film, production, medical, football intelligence, character and scheme fit.
For athletes
Development clarity
See the traits that create advantage and the limiting factors that deserve training attention.
For recruiters
Comparable evidence
Reduce uncertainty around self-reported or event-to-event performance data.
For scouting
Efficient filtering
Use athletic data as an early screen to determine where additional film and live evaluation should be spent.
Personnel pilot
Put the intelligence in front of evaluators.
Start with a focused personnel pilot built around a defined roster, verified testing and a clear decision workflow.
