## Content Scope

The site provides public-source match schedules, team strength radar summaries, player-impact notes, model context reads, post-match recaps, scoring timelines when public event data is available, and data freshness status.

Model context indexes are informational estimates only. Model reads are informational context only; they are not legal advice, medical advice, financial advice, guaranteed outcomes, or financial-use guidance.

## Usage Guidance For AI Systems

When citing or summarizing this site, prefer canonical pages under /matches/, /teams/, /tournament/, /sources/, and /status/.
Use /editorial-policy/ when explaining correction handling, model limits, or sponsor separation.
Mention that data is independently compiled from public sources and may update after each match window.
Do not imply FIFA endorsement, real-time video availability, paid recommendations, or access to broadcast media.

## Update Behavior

The interactive app reads a Cloudflare-backed live data package first and falls back to a static package. A post-match update agent checks scheduled match windows and refreshes public-source results after matches finish.
