FAQ

Questions we get asked.

The scoring, the privacy, the schedule and what it takes to get a club on it.

The basics

  • What is ISO DNA™?

    Coaches score your athlete against a framework built for their sport. Those scores become an ISO Score™ out of 10 and chart over time into a profile they keep.

  • Who is ISO DNA™ for?

    Athletes and their parents. The coaches, development coaches and athletic trainers who work with them. The scouts and recruiters who evaluate them. Everyone gets their own view. The athlete keeps the record.

  • Is this just for basketball?

    No. Every sport gets its own version. Basketball is live, soccer is in pilot, and we build more one sport at a time.

  • Why isn’t every sport scored the same way?

    Because they aren’t played the same way. Scoring a keeper against a forward’s stat set gives you a number that means nothing.

  • My kid plays two sports. Two accounts?

    No. One profile carries a framework for each sport they’re assessed in.

Scores and grades

  • Who scores my athlete?

    A development coach runs the assessments. Coaches and scouts add evaluations from games.

  • What’s the difference between the ISO Score™ and the ISO DNA™ Grade?

    The ISO Score™ comes from development assessments: a coach’s read on every skill, out of 10. The ISO DNA™ Grade comes from game stats compared with college benchmarks for your position. Both live on the same profile.

  • Can I change a score I disagree with?

    No. Nobody can edit a score or pay to change one. Talk to the coach who entered it. The report shows who and when.

  • Why a minimum number of games?

    Because one night is noise.

Privacy and control

  • Is my athlete’s profile public?

    No. Nothing is published or browsable. A profile gets shared only when you share it.

  • Who can see my athlete’s data?

    Your athlete, you, and whoever you approve. You can cut any link whenever you want.

Schedule and season

  • How often does an athlete get assessed?

    Every 2, 4 or 6 weeks, on the schedule agreed when you sign up. Coaches and scouts add evaluations from games in between.

  • What happens when the season ends?

    Nothing. It stays. That’s the point.

Clubs, teams and schools

  • Our team uses ISO DNA™. Do I still need an account?

    Yes, a parent account, to see reports, manage links and follow the schedule.

  • How much extra work for our coaches?

    Assessments go in at development sessions, not between games. Notes get logged when you notice something, so nothing has to be remembered later.

  • How do I get my club, team or school set up?
