About CupCastLab

CupCastLab is a transparent prediction-intelligence platform for football. It combines team ratings, expected-goals modelling, Monte Carlo simulations and market consensus into match-level predictions and tournament-level probabilities for the Global Cup 2026 and beyond.

Everything is free, public, and built to be auditable. No login. No paywall. No tracking.

CupCastLab is independent and unaffiliated with any official football governing body. Where we mention tournaments we use neutral, descriptive language — no protected marks are claimed or implied.

CupCastLab does not provide betting advice. It does not place bets. It does not link to bookmakers. It does not host any affiliate program.

Market data is consumed exclusively for analytical comparison and calibration — never as a recommendation.

Every prediction is explainable. Each match page exposes factor contributions, expected goals, scoreline matrices, confidence levels and data-quality scores.

The methodology page documents the model. The data page lists every source the platform consumes. The codebase ships with CSV templates so any external data source can be plugged in.

The current build runs on a complete seed dataset. As the Global Cup 2026 draw, fixtures, ratings and odds become available, they are wired in through the existing adapters — no schema changes required.

Planned improvements include backtested calibration curves, live in-tournament rating updates, lineup-aware predictions, and a public read-only API.
