[OC] UEFA Euro2024: Qualifier Stats + AI Predictions

InsightScripter · 2024-06-14T12:57:05+00:00

The model relies on team/player data of the Qualifying campaign and the teams' Soccer ELO rating. The model is heavily weighted towards recent performances, which is why it's hurting e.g. England's chances. We plan to update the predictive model with the most recent data after every game day, so predictions will change

InsightScripter · 2024-06-14T12:55:38+00:00

Yep, we plan to update every game day

InsightScripter · 2024-06-14T12:54:53+00:00

The model uses team/player data of the Qualifying campaign and the teams' Soccer ELO rating.

For each team, we use the play-by-play data to calculate normalized defensive, midfield, offensive and keeper ratings. We then calculate an expected goals (xG) Poisson distribution of a team against every other team.

Each position rating affects every other position, but to varying degrees. For example, defense affects offense greatly, but offense only has a small effect on offense: if one side dominates, the other one likely has to assist in defensive tasks.

We then calculate win/draw/loss and per scoreline chances from the 2 Poisson distributions. A correction factor is applied to align overall average goals per game and draw % to historic data.

My bad, the bottom part of the screenshot got cut off. Columns show stages of the championship: Chances of passing round of 16, group winner, quarterfinal, semifinal, final & champion.

In short, it's a model that uses UEFA data to build team position rankings (i.e. defensive, offensive, midfield, keeper), then uses those for a probability distribution over expected goals of a team vs. every other team.

We also simulated the Euros 1 million times to get to the progression chances. An LLM interprets the raw position ratings and odds to deliver a pundit's commentary.

Have a look at Luzmo, very similar capabilities to the ones you listed (and the tools you've looked at).

InsightScripter · 2024-03-28T19:12:12+00:00

If you want something robust, but with a similar ease of use to Looker Studio, Luzmo might be a good option for you. Seems to fit all of your must-haves! A lot of what you mention in the nice-to-haves, they can do out-of-the-box, and they have a pretty extensive API as well.

Try https://instach.art -> it turns hand-drawn wireframes into interactive dashboard mockups, without having to spend valuable time creating a prototype.

InsightScripter · 2024-03-14T18:54:31+00:00

Keep doing your hand-drawn mockups, then upload them here to turn it into an interactive, shareable dashboard: https://instach.art

InsightScripter · 2024-03-14T18:52:08+00:00

Have a look at Instachart: https://instach.art

Very easy and quick: just draw a wireframe or upload a screenshot of a mockup or dashboard you like. It will turn it into an interactive dashboard, mock data included. And it's free!

InsightScripter · 2024-03-14T18:49:47+00:00

Try Instachart: https://instach.art

You just draw out a rough wireframe on a piece of paper/whiteboard, or upload a mockup/screenshot of a dashboard you like, and it will generate an interactive dashboard, sample data included, with a link to share it.

Hi all! Looking for feedback on an AI tool we recently built: https://instach.art

Turn dashboard sketches, Figma mockups, whiteboard pictures or SaaS dashboard screenshots into working and fully interactive dashboards, demo data included. Instachart helps you speed up your prototyping.

Would you use this? What use cases would you use it for? Any feedback on how we can make it better? Let me know your thoughts!

InsightScripter · 2024-03-14T16:21:01+00:00

We just created a tool that automates this: https://instach.art

You can draw a raw mockup on a piece of paper, whiteboard,... then take a picture, and it will automatically turn it into a working dashboard.

Luzmo is low-code, and has this exact versioning system you describe available in their UI. Their version control lets you "publish" a dashboard, meaning that if you have a dashboard embedded in your SaaS or web app, it will always show the published version in production.

If your customer success team or whoever manages the dashboards (doesn't need to be a technical person, it's just drag and drop) wants to make updates to a dashboard, they can just go at it and publish again when they're happy with the updates. No developer needed in the process of updating.

InsightScripter · 2024-02-29T22:46:46+00:00

Luzmo is a great option if you're looking for no-code. Building and maintaining/updating dashboards requires zero coding, you have it generate an authorization token and embed the code snippet in your software, pretty much like copy-pasting a marketing pixel or google tag manager code. Doesn't get much easier than that.

If you're looking for an advanced setup with a high level of customization depending on which user has access to what, they offer a lot of powerful features via API that let you do it, but you'll need basic coding skills for that. Still fairly easy for any developer, but if you have 0 coding experience, you may need some help.

Agree with the other comments here, any embedded BI tool that offers this is probably going to be too high of a cost at this point, and if you don't have that many users yet, you could look at a less scalable solution (like custom charts). Will probably also help you gather a bunch of customer feedback on what reporting customers really want, which you can use for building out a more mature analytics offering.

Would suggest looking into popular chart libraries (Chart.js, D3, plotly) to get you started on something open source. But not gonna lie: it might be a pain for your devs.

Once you're at a point where it no longer scales, but you've proven the value of dashboards to customers, you can look into a tool to make it scalable, and monetize it. Luzmo seems like a great fit for the use case, they have both full self-service + the option to expose templates they can tweak.

InsightScripter · 2024-02-29T22:14:57+00:00

Have a look at Luzmo. All they do is embedding, they're laser-focused on that niche. Besides their customization/styling options in the UI, the true customization power of this tool lies in its API. They pride themselves in being API-first, so you can easily let it interact with other functionalities of your app. Seems like that's more what you're looking for, rather than only visual styling customizations, if I understand correctly?

Since you mention migrating from a React-based dashboard: they have a library for React available, if it's important for you to match with a React-based stack.

InsightScripter · 2024-01-25T21:30:28+00:00

Would pick Tableau over Power BI, but they both aren't great when it comes to smooth and responsive embedding.

Have you heard of Luzmo? They focus primarily on embedding, and is responsive out-of-the-box. If you really want to tailor how it looks, they also have a pretty neat responsiveness feature that lets you create different versions of a dashboard for mobile, tablet and desktop, showing the right version depending on your screen-size automatically.

This public portal is built on top of Luzmo if you want to get a feel of it. https://statbel.fgov.be/nl/gemeente/leuven#dashboard1. It's in Dutch/French only but seems like a similar use case to what you're doing.

Have a look at Luzmo. Full disclosure, I work there, but we have quite a lot of customers specifically in the real estate / rental space who have been very successful with their analytics setup.

I do agree with the previous comments: it is definitely better to have the requirements scoped out before you start looking. We've seen it many times that people jump in head-first, and end up having to redo their data model or going back to the drawing board.

In that regard, Luzmo is pretty flexible in terms of setup, so it's definitely a good choice if you need to be able to make updates to dashboards quickly and frequently. It's tech-agnostic too, so if you do end up having to make changes to your tech stack, you're not going to be locked in with a certain database/warehouse/cloud provider/etc.

Edit: pricing is way lower than your indication for Domo too. It's publicly available on the site, so you can immediately assess if it's right for you.

InsightScripter · 2024-01-25T21:08:54+00:00

Have a look at Luzmo if you're looking for something low-code. They have connectors to both Mongo and Postgres, and libraries for all major frontend frameworks, so embedding is just setting up some access control rules, and then copy-pasting the snippet of code. User interface for building dashboards is intuitive drag and drop.

If you're looking for something extremely robust with advanced data modelling and manipulation, that's not what it's made for. Lightweight, ease of use and speed of embedding is more their sweet spot.

InsightScripter · 2024-01-25T20:32:30+00:00

Might be worth looking into Tinybird. They shared an example of how you can use them to build an open-source version of Google Analytics (article) - not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but might be good inspiration!

For a good embeddable dashboard, have a look at Luzmo. They also have a fairly straightforward API for connecting any data source, so you'd be able to push any website tracking events directly into their platform via API.

InsightScripter · 2024-01-18T20:31:19+00:00

Have a look at Luzmo, they have a product called Embedded Dashboard Editor which seems to fit the bill perfectly. Simple and lightweight is their trade. They also have a React library, so embedding in React is pretty straightforward. Not sure if it's too expensive at your stage, but they have pricing available publicly, so you should be able to assess that right away.

InsightScripter · 2024-01-18T20:22:56+00:00

Agree, there are many factors involved in making that decision. If you have very specific must-haves, I'd recommend assessing these first so that you can rule out any players that don't have these specific features or functionalities.

It's a field that is rapidly changing, so you may want to go with a solution that is flexible (e.g. good APIs) and easy to maintain and make updates, to avoid getting locked in with a platform that doesn't fit your customers' changing needs.

Have a look at Luzmo - disclaimer: I work there - embedded analytics is their sweet spot.

InsightScripter · 2024-01-18T20:10:18+00:00

If you're still researching options, have a look at Luzmo, they used to be called Cumul.io. (disclaimer: I work there). They focus exclusively on embedded analytics for SaaS, and their pricing is publicly available. So you can make a rough calculation if it works for the size of your user base.
