About Cipher IQ
A matchup intelligence tool: what the record shows, with its sample size.
Every head coach, quarterback, and franchise since 1999, split by the conditions that actually recur: weather, rest, line, opponent strength, coverage, pressure, tenure. All of it is assembled into one briefing per game. The point is the intersections: the numbers that only exist when two of those dimensions are combined.
It states what the record shows and stops there: no picks, no advice, no claims about what happens next. Colour on the site means exactly two things, win and loss, and every headline number carries its sample size so you know how much to trust it.
Official play-by-play and schedule records for every game since 1999, kept in one database and recomputed every week. Nothing is typed in by hand, and the briefing text is checked number by number against that record before it is shown.
Every number here starts in 1999, the first season with a complete play-by-play record: down, distance, formation, pressure, and result on every snap. Earlier seasons survive as box scores, and a box score cannot answer "in the cold, as an underdog, on short rest". Starting there also keeps the numbers about today's game: free agency since 1993, the salary cap since 1994, the same rules, the same schedule shape, the same kind of football that is on the field this week.
Every merge into production is tagged with this version. Before 1.0.0 the second digit is a feature release and the third a defect fix; from 1.0.0 on, exactly one of them moves per release. Built from commit 498f9e8.
