How the leadership works together

From football opportunity to professional decision.

Football question / opportunity
Scouting lens Relevance, evidence, evaluation
Operations lens Identity, logistics, records, communication
Agency leadership lens Scope, authority, professional direction
Decision gate Written mandate + Club authority + Player consent
Output Appropriate OTSI route + Protected communication or decline/clarification
Insufficient evidence
Outside scope
Conflict / authority unclear
Proceed under written terms

Published team vs protected delivery network

A layered model explaining who is public, who is verified and what is never public.

ROLE-VERIFIED CONTRIBUTORS Verified role

Licensed agents, specialists, scouts and operations/support roles when profiles, scope or authority are published or verified.

CASE-SPECIFIC CONTRIBUTORS Case-specific

PRIVATE / PERSONAL DATA Never public

Direct contacts, identity records, contracts and personnel data are never published and are strictly protected.

Common questions

Why does OTSI only publish these four leadership profiles?

These are OTSI's four leaders. Other staff and specialists support the agency day to day without individual public profiles.

Does a leadership title prove authority for a specific player or club matter?

No. A title shows someone's general role at OTSI, not automatic authority over a specific deal. For anything binding, always ask for written confirmation.

How can I verify someone claiming to represent OTSI?

Use the verification form above, or contact the agency directly through the official contact page rather than relying on a name or title alone.

Where should a scouting enquiry go?

Scouting enquiries go to the Head of Scouting – use the contact table above, which routes every enquiry through the agency's contact page.

How are other specialists and support staff handled?

OTSI works with additional specialists as needed for specific projects. These roles are engaged case by case rather than listed on this page.

Clear roles create accountable football decisions.

Start with the published role, verify the authority, and use the right contact route for the matter.
