Type a topic. Get a sourced brief with the facts, the angles, and the gaps called out.
Think of a Dossier as the research file you wish you had before writing a piece, joining a debate, or weighing up a transfer or signing. Type a sports topic in plain English and get a clear brief: the useful facts, what backs them up, what the wider conversation is saying, two to four angles to take, and where to be careful. Send the whole brief, or just one angle, into Press Box when you are ready to write.

What it costs
Included in Press PassReading is included in your plan. See all prices. These rows show the Play-billed tools.
Football, NFL, cricket, golf, tennis, school rugby — type whatever you want, in any sport. We use our own data when we have it; otherwise the web. We never refuse just because the sport isn't on a list.
Any sports topic. Football, NFL, cricket, golf, esports, school rugby — write a sentence, get a brief. We use our own data when we have it, the web and X when we don't.
What you can do
Works for any sports topic — a signing, a race, an award debate, a coaching call, or a market rumour
Uses HFC sports data when we have it, and web or X sources when the story sits outside our data
Gives you multiple story directions instead of one flat summary
Send the full brief, or one chosen angle, straight into Press Box
Copy the research for newsletters, article drafts, or social planning
Turn a story direction into an on-camera script
Write in 9 languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Arabic
Our promises
Facts point back to the source list, with links where we have them
If a source is thin, we label it instead of dressing it up as certain
HFC data and outside sources are separated so you know what you are looking at
Often under a minute for sports we cover well; complex or web-heavy briefs can take longer
What it isn't
Upfront about what's not in here, so you can decide if it fits.
Press Pass required — reading alone does not unlock it
4 Plays per brief; each Press Box send from a completed brief uses 5 Plays
Briefs are private — no public sharing
No PDF download yet — read it on the web or copy from Distribute for now
No cover image — if you want one, hand off to Press Box
Dossiers don't auto-refresh — they're snapshots. Run a new one when the story moves.
One language per Dossier — picked when you create it
