Civly Athletics

Know who you are signing.
Before you sign.

The post that ends a deal is almost never hidden. It is just old, and nobody looked. Civly reads years of an athlete’s public posts, their video and podcast appearances, and the public record — and hands you what a reporter would find, before a reporter finds it. Every finding dated, sourced, graded, and read by an analyst first.

Why it matters

The deal gets signed. Then the screenshots come out.

NIL moves fast and the vetting usually does not. A name in a search box and ten minutes of scrolling is a coin flip on the one thing that can cost you the partnership, the sponsor, and the news cycle at once.

What they posted

Years of the archive

Confirmed accounts only — fan pages, parody accounts and same-name athletes are excluded on the record before anything is attributed. Deleted and edited posts are surfaced separately, not quietly dropped.

What is on tape

Video and podcast moments

Press conferences, interviews, and podcast appearances transcribed with every speaker labeled, so a line said out loud three years ago is as findable as a tweet. This is the material keyword search cannot reach.

What is being said now

The roster, watched

Once the deal is live, mentions and press across 13 platforms in one feed, with alerts the moment volume or sentiment moves on an athlete, a coach, or the program.

Point all three at one athlete and you get a Signing Report — a structured, twelve-section document with every finding dated, hyperlinked to its source, and graded before it reaches whoever signs the deal.

The Signing Report

A decision you can defend

Not a list of search hits. A structured document that states the recommendation first, then everything it rests on — and grades every finding on two axes so the judgment is not quietly handed back to you.

  • Accounts confirmed — and exclusions written down
  • Every finding states the athlete’s age at the time, not just the date
  • Deleted and edited posts surfaced in their own section
  • Affiliations and brand conflicts checked against your existing sponsors
  • Context that cuts the other way, sourced with the same rigor
Look inside a report

How every finding is graded

Verified

Retrieved directly, or preserved in a dated public archive capture, on a confirmed account. Safe to raise with your principals as stated.

Corroborated

Documented, but one element — the date, the account, or the context — rests on a single source. Confirm before it changes a decision.

Unconfirmed

Reposted or screenshotted material we could not tie to a confirmed account. A lead, not a finding.

Exposure

Separately, each finding carries how likely it is to surface on its own — high, medium, or low — once the deal is announced.

Before the deal, and after it

Vetting is the front door. The same engine keeps running once the athlete is on your roster.

Frequently Asked Questions

Civly Athletics, answered.

How do you know an account actually belongs to the athlete?

Every account is confirmed on corroborating evidence — a link from a verified roster page, a cross-post from an already-confirmed account, or a school or team acknowledgment — or it is excluded, and the exclusion is written into the report. Fan accounts, parody accounts, and same-name athletes in the same sport are the most common exclusions, and they are named.

Why does the report state the athlete’s age at the time of a post?

Because a bad joke at fifteen and a pattern at twenty-one are different facts. A report that presents them identically is outsourcing the judgment back to you while charging you for judgment.

Is this fair to the athlete?

That is the point of the grading. Unconfirmed material is labeled a lead rather than a finding, exclusions are documented, and every report carries a section for context that cuts the other way — sourced with the same rigor as anything negative. The goal is an accurate picture, not a pile of hits.

How fast can we get one?

Days, not weeks — and rush timelines are available when a signing window is tighter than that. Turnaround depends on how much archive and tape exists for the athlete; we will tell you the realistic date before you commit.
