Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Footdigest Tools (14)

get_match_probabilities

Footdigest: calibrated home/draw/away probabilities and expected goals for a football matchup, from the backtested Dixon-Coles + Elo engine. Ask by `match_id`, or by `home_team` and `away_team` names for any matchup. Every answer is sourced and timestamped; see get_model_card for the methodology.

get_model_card

Footdigest: the live model card behind every prediction. Returns the backtested RPS versus a naive baseline, the out-of-sample size, the calibration table, the methodology, and an explicit list of what is not measured. Use it to audit any number the other tools return.

simulate

Footdigest: run the seeded Monte Carlo over a competition's group stage and return each team's advancement probabilities. Pass `trials` and `seed` to control and reproduce the run; the same inputs always return the same numbers. Identify the competition by its slug (e.g. "world-cup-2026").

get_tournament_odds

Footdigest: each team's chances of qualifying from the group stage, reaching the final, and winning the competition, from a seeded strength-aware Monte Carlo. Pass `trials` and `seed` to control and reproduce the run. Identify the competition by its slug (e.g. "world-cup-2026").
