22 July 2026 · Supplier launch. Catapult announced IMPECT Video Scouting, describing full matches, individual-player scenes, playlists and integration with its Pro Video Suite. Its announcement claims availability across more than 150 men’s and women’s competitions, but does not establish a club-specific MLS or NWSL coverage inventory. (catapult.com)

Buyer implication: Include it in a Wyscout-alternatives trial only where the proposed competition scope and recruitment tasks match. Require the candidate product to reproduce the essential workflow before comparing optional features.

Separate three possible benefits:

  • Additional evidence: information the incumbent cannot supply.
  • Workflow improvement: the same useful evidence reaches the decision-maker more efficiently.
  • Replacement: essential incumbent capabilities remain available after cancellation.

Do not call a product a replacement merely because the demonstration combines video and numbers.
