digi hoopsbi
HoopsBI's AI Advisor turns a player's stats, contract, and career priorities into a personal career consultation report in minutes. Instead of guessing where you stand, the AI benchmarks you against players in your performance tier across 90+ leagues, drawing on HoopsBI's proprietary data from real players, coaches, and agents rather than scraped rumors.

The report covers five areas: a salary verdict that shows whether you are underpaid, fair, or above market along with the dollar gap per season, a ranked list of best-fit leagues scored against what matters most to you, a next-season roadmap comparing your options, risk flags on payment delays or coaching concerns reported by players who were there before you, and ready-to-use negotiation scripts including agent outreach messages and GM talk tracks built from your own numbers.
Every contribution stays anonymous, and the data refreshes each season so players always get a current read on their market value before they sit down to negotiate.Getting your own report only takes a few minutes once you know where to look. Here is a walkthrough of the full process, from opening the AI Advisor to seeing your finished report.
Good News: Players who contribute to HoopsBI will receive free access to the HoopsBI AI Advisor.
Step 1: Open AI Advisor and Start a New Consultation
From the platform sidebar, click AI Advisor, then select New Consultation. If this is your first time using the feature, you will see a Choose Contract Experience screen with no saved contract experiences yet. Click Create Contract Experience to begin building your profile. This experience is what the AI will use to generate your report, so it is worth filling in carefully.
Step 2: Enter Your Career Info
Step 1 of the form asks for your basic career details. Add an optional experience label so you can recognize this contract later, along with your years as a pro, your primary position, and your primary passport country. Your primary position and passport are required before you can generate a consultation report, so make sure both are filled in before continuing.
Step 3: Add Your Team and Contract Details
Step 2 covers the team and contract itself. Enter the team name, team country, and league, or choose Other and Not Listed if your league is not in the list. You can also add additional leagues you competed in, separated by commas, along with your monthly salary in USD, the number of contract months, and the year played if you want to reference a past season. Fractional paid months are supported if your contract was not a clean round number.
Step 4: Fill In Your Statistics
Step 3 is where the AI gets the performance data it needs to place you in a tier. Minutes, points, and rebounds per game are required to generate a report. Assists, steals, and blocks per game default to zero if left blank, and the same applies to free throw percentage. Field goal percentage and three point percentage should be entered either as a whole number like 47 or a decimal like 0.47.
Step 5: Set Your Career Priorities
Step 4 asks you to allocate exactly 30 priority points across four categories: salary, coaching, opportunity, and lifestyle. How you split these points shapes the rest of your report, since the AI uses your priorities to score and rank league recommendations later on. A player who weights salary heavily will see a different set of best-fit leagues than one who weights lifestyle or coaching more.
Step 6: Rate Your Team Experience
Step 5 pulls in the team name you entered earlier and asks you to select your payment experience with that team from a dropdown. You will also score the coaching, your local teammates, and the overall team management on a scale of 1 to 10. The form includes prompts to help you think through each score, covering things like whether the coach made solid in-game adjustments, whether teammates were supportive and welcoming, and whether travel, meals, housing, and visa logistics were handled well.
Step 7: Generate Your Report
Once all five steps are complete, click Generate Consultation Report. The AI Advisor will show a live progress screen while it works, reviewing your contract experience data, comparing your salary tier, finding performance gaps, building your career roadmap, and preparing a negotiation strategy. This usually takes under a minute, so keep the tab open while it runs.
Step 8: Review Your Career Consultation Report
When generation finishes, you land on the Overview tab of your report. Here you will see your performance level, a confidence score based on how much comparable data exists for your profile, your current salary against the average market rate, and the total shortfall or gap over the length of your contract. From the Overview, you can move through the other tabs, including Salary, Career path, Leagues, Risks, Agents, and Negotiation, each broken down in more detail elsewhere in your report.
A Note on Access
AI Advisor sits alongside HoopsBI's other platform tools like Lifestyle, Salary Comparison, and Career Development. Access to the full report depends on your subscription tier, with Basic and Plus plans unlocking deeper salary benchmarking, coaching quality scores, and forecasted contract insights on top of what the Free tier offers.
Conclusion
Building your contract experience is the only manual part of the process. Once it is submitted, the AI Advisor handles the benchmarking, the roadmap, and the negotiation prep for you.
