PORTFOLIO VERIFICATION

BUILD A VERIFIED
FOOTBALL ANALYST
PORTFOLIO

A CV tells clubs what you say you can do. A verified portfolio proves it. BonaFide Pro independently reviews and verifies the projects you submit — so when clubs search for an analyst, your work speaks for itself.

WHY CREDENTIALS ALONE ARE NOT ENOUGH

Football analysis has become a crowded field. Thousands of analysts — many with the same qualifications and the same tools listed on their CV — are competing for a limited number of roles. Clubs face the opposite problem: too many applications, no reliable way to separate genuine practitioners from those who have attended a course but never done the work at a real club.

The analysts who get hired consistently are the ones who can demonstrate their work clearly. Not describe it. Demonstrate it. A verified portfolio of real projects — opposition reports, post-match analyses, data visualisations, player tracking outputs — is far more persuasive than a list of software on a two-page CV.

HOW VERIFICATION WORKS

Submitting a project on BonaFide Pro is straightforward. You provide a description of the work, the tools you used, the context (club, role, timeframe), and any supporting files or attachments. Our team then reviews every submission manually.

We assess whether the description is credible, whether the tools claimed match the nature of the work, and whether the project demonstrates genuine practical skill. If it passes, it is marked VERIFIED. If it does not meet the standard, we send you specific feedback explaining why and how to improve it.

We aim to review all submissions within 3–5 working days. You receive a notification in your dashboard when the review is complete.

THE TIER SYSTEM

As you build your portfolio, your profile earns a tier that gives clubs an instant signal of your depth and consistency:

EMERGING
0–3 verified projects
ESTABLISHED
4–6 verified projects
RECOGNISED
7–9 verified projects
ELITE
10+ verified projects

Your tier is not just a badge — it is a filter clubs use when they search. An ELITE-tier analyst appears at the top of searches. A RECOGNISED-tier candidate with strong tool coverage will consistently outperform someone with a longer CV but no verified evidence.

THE GAP ANALYSIS TOOL

One of BonaFide Pro's most powerful features for analysts is the gap analysis view. Every time a club runs a search on the platform, the system compares the club's requirements against your profile and shows you exactly how you matched up — even if you were not surfaced in the results.

You can see which tools a club searched for that you do not yet have on your profile, what experience level they were targeting, and which specific courses or learning resources could help you close those gaps. Over time, this gives you a clear picture of where to focus your development to make yourself more competitive.
