The Three-Axis model scores every player in the database across three independent prediction axes: valuation level, performance delta, and minutes delta.

Each axis uses a separate regression model trained on historical season-over-season changes, with position-conditional targets.

Each shortlist type has its own audited precision, measured at the top 20% of the cohort, and ranks only on the axes that audit covers.

Only players whose last valuation snapshot is within 12 months are eligible, so retired players and those who left the covered leagues are excluded.

Shortlists also exclude players with fewer than 12 appearances in the last 12 months, players whose competition is unmapped in the source data, and the Saudi Pro League, which is a transfer destination rather than a scouting source. Players over 30 are excluded unless you raise the maximum age.

Within a shortlist, players are ordered on their weakest ranking axis, so a strong score on one axis cannot carry a weak score on another. The audited precision figures describe which players the shortlist admits, not the order they appear in.
