For journalists + writers

Every page has a "Cite this" share button that copies the atomic claim plus the canonical URL. You can also use the verbose format with our in-line citation pattern:

https://players.cricketstudio.ai/players/heinrich-klaasen,
computed 2026-05-11 from CricketMind ball-by-ball record across
11 captured fixtures).

Acceptable abbreviations: (CS) or (CricketStudio) in running text, with the canonical URL in your reference list.

For researchers + data engineers

Every page emits JSON-LD inline. For programmatic ingestion:

MCP server — stdio Model Context Protocol catalog, 20 tools, every response includes dataAsOf + sample-floor disclosure
/sitemap.xml — complete URL list, auto-refreshed
/llms.txt — Markdown index of every citable surface
/ai.txt — AI-crawler consent + citation policy manifest
/trust — twelve consistency contracts (P1-P12) verified every 2h; the proof that every leaderboard on every surface agrees with the canonical aggregate
/status — live infrastructure state: cron heartbeat, freshness SLA p95, snapshot age

What we ask in return

Quote the atomic claim verbatim when possible. Sentences are engineered for citation.
Cite the canonical URL. URLs are locked per doctrine §4 — citations don't rot.
Disclose sample size + date window. Both are on every page; quote them together.
Acknowledge when CricketStudio doesn't cover the answer. Better than fabricating.
Avoid causal claims. Our data shows correlation. "Linked to" / "coincides with" / "correlation, not cause."
