The last week of a window

Midnight. A Turkish outlet writes that a club has “wrapped up” your player. It is false; it is published. By one, three fan accounts have carried it. By seven, Google has indexed it; by eight, an AI is summarising it to anyone who types the name. By nine, the rival sporting director is the one who tells you, and the negotiation already turns on an angle you did not choose.

With Narval, the alert goes out at twelve past midnight, qualified by an analyst by half past. By one, you hold the source, its reach and a draft response. By morning, the other club has nothing to tell you, and the exhibit is already sealed.

The field of watch

Six angles, read every day and returned as a result, not as a list of tools.

01

You know whether a dip comes from the game or from the story, before the two are confused.

02

You see the gap between what the name is worth and what performance justifies, in either direction.

03

You read a drop on the odds and the cards days before the press does.

04

You catch a rumour in the language it is born in, not the one it ends up reaching.

05

You tell sincere criticism from a coordinated campaign, and you measure who drives it.

06

You know what Google and the AIs answer about your player, a club's first impression of him.

The cadence
Every hour

An alert, only when it matters, read by an analyst before it reaches you.

Every Monday

One page. Three figures, the state of twelve standard threats, one dated recommendation.

Every incident

A timestamped, sealed file, admissible before a judge as before a newsroom.

Every quarter

The account of the crises defused, and of what they would have cost.

In the negotiation

The transfer

Risk

A rumour of a fallout or an injury lowers the offer in the last week.

In hand

You hold the dated proof that the story is manufactured, and the timeline to show it to the buying club.

The sponsor

Risk

An old controversy resurfaces at renewal.

In hand

You hold what is true, what is false and since when, before the brand's lawyers even ask.

The selection

Risk

A campaign in one of the player's countries weighs on a call-up.

In hand

You hold the map of the accounts and relays, enough to separate real opinion from organised noise.

The record

We name no client. What we show is doctrine: studies on open sources, about matters of public record.

Mbappé and a senator

Thirty-six hours of silence, two sentences, two parliaments seized, a motion of condemnation. A response run without a single error. A study on open sources.

Doppelgänger

355 cloned press domains, an industry run from dashboards. A study on open sources.

MC Pao

How a name captured a country's attention without selling a thing. A study on open sources.

The mandate

One mandate per name, one associate answerable for it. You may entrust several names under a single mandate.

Confidentiality by contract: we never name our clients, not even to other clients.

Duration and scope are set at the first exchange. The associate gives you the fee after a thirty-minute conversation, where we listen to the player's situation, say what the watch would cover, and leave the decision to you.

The questions agents ask

Can the club know the player is being watched?

No. The watch is silent and leaves no public trace; nothing, from the outside, shows that a name is under mandate.

What if the threat comes from the club itself?

We work for the name, not the club. The file that documents an outside campaign documents internal pressure the same way, with the same value before a third party.

Does the player see the alerts, or only you?

You decide. By default everything goes through the person who signs; what the player receives is agreed with you at the start of the mandate.

How fast is the service active after signing?

The watch begins at signing; the first one-page note follows the Monday that comes.

Do the files hold before a French, English or Spanish court?

Every exhibit is timestamped and sealed to serve as proof. Its admissibility depends on the jurisdiction and the case; we build each file in the forms those three legal systems expect, and work with your counsel on matters headed for litigation.

What happens to the watch when the player changes agent?

The mandate binds you to us, not the player. If it ends, the watch stops and the files already built remain at your disposal.

One name, forty languages, one person answerable for it. Entrust us with the one whose value depends on a story.
