FORM METHODOLOGY · POPULATION

Participant context, never a hidden score adjustment

FORM cohort results describe consenting participants who used compatible golf tasks and measurement versions. They do not change an athlete’s absolute FORM Rating and do not predict an individual result.

Separate consent

Population inclusion is optional and versioned. Withdrawing or deleting a source removes it from the next aggregate.

Exact compatibility

Sport, movement, task, club, equipment context, outcome class, metric and scoring versions must match.

Privacy thresholds

At least 100 eligible participants and at least 10 people in every disclosed cell. Smaller cells stay hidden.

Representation

A raw count is not enough. Device, acquisition and relevant participant strata must pass the declared coverage gate.

Performance context

Initial cohorts use experience, handicap or declared performance bands. Age, sex, height and build never adjust the canonical score.

Association only

Results are participant associations, not causal demographic findings and not representative of all golfers.
