What these docs cover
This site explains HotRoute as a cognitive operating system for football organizations. The goal is clarity, not mystique. You should be able to read these pages and understand the product frame, the major product areas, the operating model, and the workflows HotRoute is designed to support.
These docs are intentionally different from three other surfaces:
- the marketing site, which explains the company and public positioning
- release notes, which document visible change over time
- future developer docs, which will serve implementation and integration work
Start here if you are new
If you are evaluating HotRoute for the first time, the fastest path is:
- read What is HotRoute? for the product definition
- read Getting Started for the recommended lens
- read How HotRoute Is Organized for the five-area model
- jump into the category, product area, or workflow that matches your role
That sequence is designed to reduce category confusion. HotRoute is not easiest to understand when treated like a single-purpose tool.
Docs map
These docs are organized into seven primary categories so the structure can grow without turning into a flat list:
- Start Here — product definition, orientation, and first-reading paths for new readers.
- Product Areas — the major parts of HotRoute and the football problems each one addresses.
- Feature Guides — feature-level explainers and walkthroughs as public docs coverage expands.
- Workflows and Tutorials — scenario-based reading for weekly operations, teaching, and concept-to-execution work.
- Coaching Philosophy / Operating Model — the principles and organizational frame that keep the product coherent.
- Administration — owner and administrator guides for setup, access, billing, and staff controls.
- Reference — shared language, FAQs, and evaluation context.
Not every future-facing category is heavily populated yet. That is intentional. The taxonomy is designed to scale cleanly as quickstarts, tutorials, feature guides, and reference material grow.
How to use this site
Use the sidebar if you want stable navigation. Use search if you know the question you are trying to answer. Use breadcrumbs if you want to stay aware of the broader category you are in. Use the page-local table of contents if you want the structure of a single page before reading the whole thing.
Every page is written to answer four practical questions:
- what this page is
- who it is for
- why it matters
- what to read next
About release notes
Release notes remain canonical on the public website at hotroute.io/release-notes. This docs site links out to them, but does not duplicate them.
