A new club, no blind spots: a dossier and press digest.

A new country, a new language, a new dressing room, and a press that writes about the player in Turkish every day. The project was there to help him settle faster, and the job split in two:

1. Know the team: who's who, who plays where, who the direct competitors for a place are, what to talk about with whom, and which topics to avoid.
2. Know what's being written: a short, honest weekly summary of the Turkish press, in Russian.

The client's condition: verifiable public information only, and no guesswork about real people.

A dossier on the new squad

• 31 profiles — the whole season's squad — written from an attacking midfielder's point of view: for each player it's clear whether he's a link-up partner, a rival for the position, or someone in another line.
• Each profile has position, number, nationality, a playing profile — role, strengths, stronger foot — a photo on a branded background, and a "Don't bring up" block limited to publicly known topics.
• Young academy players are flagged as low-confidence, with a "Judge for yourself" note.
• 4 formats from one source: a 41-slide deck at 1920×1080, a document for reading and editing, and two PDFs for phone and print.
• A handover package: any future contractor can rebuild the dossier.

A weekly media digest

• Every Monday at 09:00, an issue covering the previous week: a summary in Russian, a 0–100 press sentiment score with what raised and lowered it, the top 3 stories with translation and a link to the source, and a look ahead.
• Sources: Turkish and English-language media.
• Three channels: an archive page at a permanent address, a mobile-friendly email, and an A4 PDF.

A scheduled Claude session starts up: sets the period → searches publications and opens the sources → writes the issue → saves it with structured data → rebuilds the archive → publishes only the files that changed → checks every file byte by byte → sends the email → prepares the PDF. That evening a backup run checks everything went out and completes only the steps that were missed.

The weekly digest process. The dotted outline is what the backup run covers.

• No invented facts about real people. No data — and it says so.
• Every digest fact links to its source, with the original headline and date.
• Every score is explained: what raised it and what lowered it.
• Checked by eye before sending: every PDF is rendered and reviewed; the page is checked for availability and correct Cyrillic.

• The archive grew with every issue until it no longer fitted in one publish — we switched to incremental builds: older parts are frozen, only 2 files go out each week.
• Typos in Cyrillic and Turkish diacritics are invisible to the eye — byte-level checks of every file have already caught two.
• A run can be cut short by usage limits — the evening backup run finishes the issue the same day.

Both products are now templates: a different player, club or language means new inputs, not new development. The same approach suits agents, clubs and press offices: a dossier at transfer time and press monitoring for the season.
