Pranav Patel is the founder and editor of Field Signal, a source-first publication covering sports AI, sports technology, media rights, fan and athlete data, scouting systems, and the builder workflows connecting them. He writes from the operator's seat: what matters, what is noise, and what should be built next.
Every serious Field Signal piece answers four questions — why it matters, what system is changing, what a builder should do with it, and what to watch next. The opinion layer stays clearly separated from reported facts, and external links carry the source material.
Sports AI & workflow
Front-office and operations AI: where prediction reaches the meeting, drill, roster, clip, or customer loop a real decision turns on.
Rights & athlete data
Media rights, league strategy, fan data, athlete data, and the distribution shifts reshaping how value is captured.
Sports business
Ownership, valuation, sponsorship, and the software leverage rewriting the economics of modern sports.
Editorial standard
No generic roundups. Each piece should leave you with a sharper model of the market, the workflow, or the system worth building — backed by sources, written for operators and builders.
