How do we rank athletes?
We use the KloutMachine score to show how an athlete’s on field performance relates to exposure off of it. The score translates to a dollar value based on the type of NIL engagement.
Every athlete gets a KloutMachine Score & it is calculated as soon as they finish a game. An athlete with a large social media following who performs well on national television has a greater impact on your customer base than an athlete who plays on a local station and isn’t talked about in the media.
