This product provides an authoritative, season-level summary of NBA player and team usage derived from hand-curated, video-based lineup reconstruction. Unlike box-score aggregates, all playing time has been corrected using inferred on-court presence, ensuring internal consistency between minutes, possessions, and scoring. Tier 1 is designed for researchers, writers, and analysts who need accurate season summaries and corrected exposure without access to proprietary possession-level data. Tier 1 includes player–season summaries with corrected minutes played, offensive and defensive possession counts, points scored and allowed while on court, season-aggregated on/off and net rating summaries, and team-level season totals with usage context. By design, Tier 1 does not include 5-on-5 lineup data, substitution timing or stint boundaries, possession sequences or play-by-play equivalents, or player impact model coefficients such as RAPM. Higher tiers introduce inferred rotation structure, lineup behavior, and possession-level inference. Tier 1 datasets are available for the 1984–85 through 1995–96 NBA seasons and are sold on a per-season basis. After completing checkout, purchasers should email the season they wish to receive along with proof of purchase to the address listed on the receipt. As additional games are reconstructed or annotations are refined, quarterly updates to the selected season are provided at no additional cost.

This product provides season-level inference of NBA player rotation structure and in-game usage patterns, derived from hand-curated, video-based lineup reconstruction. Rather than reporting total minutes alone, Tier 2 characterizes when players were used within games and how roles evolved across the season. Tier 2 is designed for analysts, researchers, and advanced media users who need insight into rotation behavior, closing tendencies, and usage structure, without access to possession-level or lineup-level data. Tier 2 includes time-aligned player presence profiles aggregated across the season, quarter-level and game-clock usage summaries, inferred starter, bench, and closing roles, rotation stability and variability measures, and team-level rotation structure indicators. Rotation profiles are inferred from internally consistent minute- and presence-level reconstruction aggregated across observed games. By design, Tier 2 does not include 5-on-5 lineup data, substitution timestamps, stint boundaries, possession sequences, play-by-play equivalents, or player impact model coefficients derived from possession-level estimation. Higher tiers introduce full possession-level stints, lineup matchups, and player impact modeling. Tier 2 datasets are available for the 1984–85 through 1995–96 NBA seasons and are sold on a per-season basis. After completing checkout, purchasers should email the season they wish to receive along with proof of purchase to the address listed on the receipt. All purchased seasons include ongoing quarterly updates reflecting newly reconstructed games and improved rotation inference at no additional cost.

This product provides full possession-level 5-on-5 stint data reconstructed from hand-curated, video-based lineup annotation. Tier 3 represents the atomic game-level record from which season summaries, rotation profiles, and player impact estimates are derived. Tier 3 is designed for professional analysts, research groups, and modeling teams who require direct access to lineup context, possession attribution, and scoring outcomes, and who intend to perform independent impact estimation, matchup analysis, or simulation. Tier 3 includes game-dated possession-level stints with complete offensive and defensive lineups, corrected playing time within each stint, offensive and defensive possession counts, points scored and allowed, and explicit substitution boundaries defining lineup changes. All stints are internally consistent with reconstructed minute- and possession-level exposure and are suitable for downstream statistical modeling without reliance on box-score minutes or inferred play-by-play sequences. By design, Tier 3 does not include raw video, broadcast footage, annotation tooling, model code, or pre-computed player impact coefficients. Higher tiers introduce standardized player impact models, uncertainty quantification, and derived analytic products built directly from the Tier 3 dataset. Tier 3 datasets are sold on a per-season basis and provide game-dated, possession-level 5-on-5 stint data for the selected NBA season. Tier 3 datasets are available for the 1984–85 through 1995–96 NBA seasons and are sold on a per-season basis. After completing checkout, purchasers should email the season they wish to receive along with proof of purchase to the address listed on the receipt. Quarterly updates incorporating newly reconstructed games and consistency improvements are provided for the selected season at no additional cost.

This product provides standardized player impact estimates and derived analytic products computed directly from the Tier 3 possession-level dataset. Tier 4 represents the modeling and inference layer, translating raw lineup and possession structure into interpretable player-level measures with explicit uncertainty. Tier 4 is designed for professional analysts, research organizations, and decision-making groups who require validated impact estimates without independently implementing possession-level modeling pipelines. Tier 4 includes pre-computed player impact coefficients derived from possession-level lineup data, season-level offensive and defensive impact estimates, associated uncertainty bounds, and model-based summaries suitable for comparison, ranking, and downstream analysis. All estimates are generated using internally consistent possession attribution and exposure correction, and are aligned exactly with the underlying Tier 3 dataset for the selected season. By design, Tier 4 does not include raw possession-level stints, lineup tables, substitution boundaries, annotation tooling, or model source code. Tier 4 datasets are sold on a per-season basis and are available only in conjunction with, or derived directly from, the corresponding Tier 3 season dataset.

Tier 5 provides bespoke analytic services and advisory support built directly on the underlying reconstructed datasets. This tier is designed for organizations, researchers, and media partners who require tailored analysis, custom modeling, or expert interpretation beyond standardized dataset releases. Tier 5 engagements draw on over a decade of applied experience across multiple NBA organizations and research partners, including work in advanced spatiotemporal analytics, draft and free agency modeling, and the development of novel analytic methodologies. Prior work has supported professional teams and external institutions, including collaboration with industry research groups such as Microsoft’s NBA-AI initiative. This purchase covers an initial scoping and consultation engagement to define objectives, feasibility, and deliverables. The scoping fee is credited toward any subsequent Tier 5 project agreement. All Tier 5 services are scoped individually and delivered under a custom agreement defining objectives, deliverables, and permitted use. The Tier 5 purchase covers an initial consultation and scoping engagement to assess objectives, data requirements, feasibility, and proposed deliverables. If a Tier 5 project agreement is initiated, the consultation fee is credited toward the contracted hours or project cost. If no engagement proceeds, the consultation fee is retained.
