About HobbyTier
What is HobbyTier?
HobbyTier is a performance analytics platform for sport hobbyists, athletes, and coaches. We turn training and test results into standardized, easy-to-understand metrics—so you can see your current level, your gap to benchmarks, and what to work on next.
What We Offer
Tools (calculators & tests)
- Robust core engines built for high-performance precision, converting athletic inputs into standardized, verified benchmarks.
- Data-driven modeling that turns raw training results into actionable product decisions and tier-based performance analysis.
Guides (methodology & explanations)
- Expert editorial content that translates complex methodology and clinical research into clear, accessible training insights.
- Evidence-based deep dives that explain the logic behind every metric, providing a transparent and credible path for sport hobbyists.
Visuals (video production)
- Turn complex methodology and data into clear, engaging visual content that explains performance standards at a glance.
- Bridge the gap between technical data and practical understanding through visual storytelling.
How We Build (Tools & Content)
- Topic selection: Based on user needs, search demand, and metrics we can verify.
- Evidence review: We prioritize credible sources (research, guidelines, official records, and reputable datasets).
- Modeling & calculation: Define inputs, normalization/standardization rules, and outputs (tiers, gaps, benchmarks).
- Review & revision: Fix issues, refine logic, and update pages when new evidence becomes available.
Data Sources & Transparency
- Each tool/page includes a Criteria & Limitations section describing benchmark standards (e.g., records, elite references, age-group norms) and key assumptions.
- Core factors that materially affect results (e.g., thresholds, ranges, formulas) are disclosed as clearly as reasonably possible through tables and FAQs.
- User-provided inputs may be used in anonymized, aggregated statistics that do not identify individuals.
Update Policy
When we add evidence, fix errors, or change criteria, we update the Last updated date and summarize what changed. Major changes (e.g., tier threshold updates) may be announced separately or logged in a change history.
