# 3. What evidence would make a women’s competition genuinely usable for recruitment?


**Interview objective:** Replace catalogue-level claims with a competition-and-season evidence map.

**Put to:** Arielle Dror, Edward Gallagher and the supplier’s coverage owner.

**Why it matters to buyers:** The Colombian announcement demonstrates why video coverage and event-data coverage need separate verification. Listing Liga Femenina in a video agreement does not establish the same data product announced for the men’s first and second divisions.

**A strong answer should cover:**

- The exact competition, season, phase and delivery cut-off.
- An expected inventory of completed fixtures, reconciled for postponements, cancellations and other exceptions.
- Full-match footage separately from highlights, clips, event records and tracking.
- Missing fields, incomplete periods, player-identity continuity and historical depth.
- How quickly a missing or corrected match becomes available, and how customers learn about exceptions.

Use this proposed structure for an NWSL Recruitment Coverage Gap Map:

| Field | Evidence to request |
|---|---|
| Expected matches | Dated official fixture/results inventory and inclusion rules |
| Usable full-match video | Match identifiers, access checks and incomplete-footage exceptions |
| Required data | Field dictionary, delivered records and null reasons |
| Player history | IDs across seasons, teams and name changes |
| Delivery and corrections | Publication timestamps, revision history and unresolved tickets |
| Contract scope | Competition-season entitlement and relevant usage rights |

**Sharp follow-up:** Show a missing-match register, not just a coverage percentage. Does missingness cluster around particular teams, venues or stages?

**Request this artefact:** A manifest for NWSL and the club’s chosen NCAA, WSL, Liga F or Liga MX Femenil samples. These are evaluation targets, not assertions of supplier availability. Calculate completeness only when the denominator is established.
