Reasons to believe

Five things that make this real, not theoretical.

±0.02s

Stopwatch error, eliminated

Camera timing and rep counting replace human judgement. Manual stopwatches drift ±0.24s — enough to misrank a district.

100%

Every result is verifiable

Each score carries a confidence value, an evidence clip hash and a plain-language explanation. Fraud is auto-flagged.

25,000+

Already proven on children

Live today with Bihar Sarkar and IIT Madras Research Park.

0 bars

Works with no network

Capture, inference and scoring run on-device. Records sync when a signal appears.

69%

Already built

Production IP across Splink and HBCTech — only five thin capabilities are new build.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing else.

01

Record

A teacher points a ₹8,000 phone at the child and runs the SAI battery test. No tripod, no sensors, no lab.

02

Verify

33-keypoint pose AI measures, scores and flags anomalies in seconds — entirely offline, on-device.

03

Act

District, state and SAI dashboards see verified talent, risk and readiness the moment the phone reconnects.

HBCTech = perception layer Splink = intelligence layer One platform, no seams

One unified platform

From a phone camera to a national talent map.

Four layers, one record. Every child tested on any ground in India becomes a verified, longitudinal athlete profile that coaches, districts, states and SAI all read from the same source of truth.

Perception · HBCTech

It sees

33-keypoint 3D pose, gait events, flight time, rep validity, line-touch verification at 120fps.

Identity · Splink

It remembers

One tamper-evident athlete passport per child, from first test to national camp selection.

Intelligence · Splink

It decides

Talent scores, injury and dropout risk, nutrition and cognitive signals, AI development plans.

Governance · Splink

It governs

District heatmaps, state ROI models and a live national talent map SAI can act on.

Questions we get asked

Does it work without internet?+

Yes. Capture, pose estimation, scoring and validation all run on-device. Records queue locally and sync automatically when a network is available, so testing never stops.

How do you stop cheating or faked results?+

Every test is video-evidenced and hashed. The AI checks body proportions, movement plausibility, frame continuity and device sensors. Suspicious results are quarantined for human review rather than silently accepted.

Is children's data protected?+

Yes — DPDP-compliant by design. Parental consent is explicit and revocable, personal data stays minimised, and government users see aggregated intelligence rather than raw identity by default.

How much is new build versus existing technology?+

About 69% of the platform already exists as production IP across Splink and HBCTech. Only five thin capabilities are new build, which is why national rollout is measured in months, not years.

What hardware does a school need?+

One Android phone of ₹8,000 or above, and open ground. No tripods, sensors, timing gates or laptops required.
