Proposal by Brant Court
1 / 15
About Me
Name: Brant Court
Current Role: NHL Video Annotator
Professional Background: WordPress Developer + Coaching + Training + QA
Passion: Improving quality and efficiency through data-driven approaches
2 / 15
The Challenge
No standardized metrics to evaluate operator performance
Limited ability to identify specific training needs
Scattered documentation across multiple platforms
Team Leads lack concrete metrics for coaching during 1-on-1s
Inconsistent quality in game event inputs
3 / 15
Proposed Solution: Two-Part Approach
1. Metrics-Driven Quality Assurance
Monthly live QA during actual hockey game inputs
Real-time evaluation of operator accuracy and efficiency
Data collection to identify individual and team-wide improvement areas
2. Centralized WordPress Training Hub
Build on existing WordPress infrastructure (KB and LMS)
Custom dashboard with performance metrics and leaderboards
Targeted training modules for specific event types
Streamlined access to critical resources

Live QA Implementation
Process:
Monitor one period of live input per operator monthly
Track accuracy rates across different event types
Identify patterns of strengths and weaknesses
Generate individual performance reports
Benefits:
Objective measurement of performance
Early detection of training needs
Consistent quality standards
Data-driven 1-on-1 coaching

The Training Cycle
1
Assess: Live QA identifies areas for improvement
2
Prescribe: TL assigns specific training modules
3
Train: Operator completes targeted training
4
Apply: Operator implements learnings in live environment
5
Measure: Next QA session measures improvement

Example Scenario
Current Process: | Proposed Process: |
TL: “Your accuracy needs improvement.” Operator: “Which areas should I focus on?” TL: “Just try to be more careful overall.” |
TL: “Your QA shows 85% accuracy on Controlled Entry Against events.” Operator: “Where can I improve?” TL: “I’ve assigned you the Controlled Entry training module. Let’s review your progress next week.” |
