How SportingCP.ai preserves independence, rigor, and permanence.
SportingCP.ai is governed by a single responsibility: to preserve and explain Sporting Clube de Portugal’s modern history with independence, rigor, and permanence. This page defines the principles under which SportingCP.ai operates and will continue to operate over time.
SportingCP.ai operates independently of Sporting Clube de Portugal, its staff, sponsors, and commercial partners.
No external organization or individual may influence analytical conclusions, historical framing, or data presentation. Access may be welcomed. Influence is not accepted.
Independence is the foundation of trust.
SportingCP.ai is dedicated exclusively to Sporting Clube de Portugal.
The project will not expand to other clubs, leagues, or generalized football coverage. Growth is permitted only in depth, not in breadth.
Focus is a structural commitment, not a phase.
All analytical models, assumptions, and limitations are documented and versioned.
When methodology changes:
Accuracy is pursued, but historical integrity takes priority.
SportingCP.ai maintains a permanent archive.
SportingCP.ai documents Sporting CP as it was, not as wished.
The institutional voice of SportingCP.ai is calm, precise, and non-reactive.
It does not engage in provocation, taunting, or emotional debate. Disagreement is addressed through evidence and documentation, not confrontation.
The record speaks for itself.
SportingCP.ai exists to serve supporters, journalists, historians, and analysts.
It does not campaign for coaching changes, transfers, or internal decisions. Influence, if it occurs, must arise indirectly through reliability and time.
Authority is accumulated, not asserted.
Monetization is permitted only to sustain infrastructure, data preservation, and continuity.
No monetization strategy may distort analysis or restrict access to core historical records. SportingCP.ai will always maintain a publicly accessible historical foundation.
Memory is not a luxury product.
SportingCP.ai is designed to survive its founder.
Methodology, data structures, and governing principles are documented to allow future stewardship. In the event of prolonged inactivity or incapacity, stewardship may be transferred to a trusted custodian or a Sporting-aligned archival body.
The institution exists beyond any individual.
This governance framework may evolve over time. However, the following principles are immutable:
Any amendments are documented publicly and preserved historically.
SportingCP.ai is governed not by growth metrics, but by responsibility to history.
