Frequently asked questions

Workbench is where CricketStudio evidence is put to work. It has two experiences: the Analyst Playbook, for investigating a cricket question properly, and MatchLab, for practising match judgment inside real historical situations.

Working analysts, coaches who do analysis, scouts, cricketers moving into analysis, and serious aspiring analysts.

The Playbook starts from a question. You connect CricketStudio to an assistant you already use, verify it is really being used, investigate, challenge the answer and build an analyst note. MatchLab starts from a match. You work through a real historical match, notice a moment, investigate what was knowable then, commit your reasoning and update it as the game changes.

From CricketStudio. Workbench does not create its own cricket data or claims. Ball-by-ball history is built on Cricsheet data (CC BY 3.0) and other CricketStudio sources. Always open the canonical source behind a number and check its window and sample before using it professionally.

No scores, points or rankings. In the Playbook you are testing whether CricketStudio can support real analysis, and a question it cannot answer is a useful result. In MatchLab your reasoning is captured and compared with what happened, to sharpen your judgment.

The Analyst Playbook is open. Go to the Playbook and start. MatchLab is in UAT: request early access or enrol on the MatchLab page. Email hello@cricketstudio.ai if you need help.

Claude Desktop runs CricketStudio's tools directly and is best for multi-step investigations. It needs the desktop app and Node.js 18 or later. ChatGPT and Gemini work on any device but read CricketStudio's published pages through web search rather than running its tools.

No. The Playbook says so in each setup path. If an assistant cannot name the CricketStudio page a number came from, treat the number as coming from its own memory.

Your evaluations, notes and feedback are stored in your own browser only. Nothing is sent automatically. "Clear my answers in this browser" at the bottom of the Playbook removes them.

You are placed in a real historical match with ball-by-ball data. You observe, pause at meaningful moments, investigate the evidence, commit your reasoning and update it as the match continues. Depending on your path, the platform pauses for you at set points.

Aspiring Analyst needs no cricket background and pauses every 36 balls. Cricketer to Analyst is for players moving into analysis and pauses every 72 balls. Regional to National is for working analysts and never forces a pause.

MatchLab uses one-time email codes. Enter your email, receive a 6-digit code and enter it. Codes expire after 10 minutes.

The Briefing Room is the pre-match preparation surface: context, conditions and matchup information before you start. The Library holds your saved sessions, history and reference material.

Yes, real historical matches. During UAT some content may be sample data while match packages are being completed.

MatchLab is a web app designed for desktop and tablet analysis sessions. Phones work for the Library and your profile.

Krithin is the analytics engine underneath MatchLab. It processes ball-by-ball data, scores sessions and produces the benchmarks your decisions are compared against.

Every individual plan includes a 14-day free trial with no card required. Billing is monthly or annual, and you can cancel any time from your account settings. Access continues to the end of the paid period, with no partial refunds. Academies are billed per seat, and each seat is assigned to one named analyst. Card details go straight to our payment provider and are never stored on our servers. MatchLab is in UAT, so plans and pricing may change.

For coaching organisations and teams that train a cohort together. The academy admin manages seats, sees aggregated cohort progress and handles billing. Individual plans and academy seats are separate.

Playbook: a small cookie that remembers your access, plus progress kept in your own browser. MatchLab: your name, email, session activity and usage signals. We do not sell your data. See the privacy notice for the full breakdown.

Playbook data can be cleared from the page at any time. To delete a MatchLab account, email hello@cricketstudio.ai. Personal data is removed within 30 days.

You, and CricketStudio for product improvement. Academy admins see aggregated cohort performance, not individual ball-by-ball decisions. Individual session data is not shared with third parties.

Email hello@cricketstudio.ai. Weak samples, missing capabilities and misleading answers are the most useful things you can report.
