# GameDataCore

> Decision intelligence for the games industry. We connect player behaviour, emotion, community signals, market context, and studio intent into explainable, causal evidence — so creative and commercial decisions are made with confidence, not guesswork.

## What is GameDataCore?

GameDataCore is the decision intelligence layer for the games industry. It is a SaaS platform (with an enterprise on-premises option) that transforms player feedback, community signals, behavioural data, and market context into structured, explainable evidence that supports high-stakes decisions.

GameDataCore is not a dashboard or analytics tool. It is a decision intelligence system that produces deterministic, auditable outputs — not black-box AI scoring or sentiment summaries.

## Core Products

### CoreFeedback (Available — Q1 2026 Pilot)
Transforms Steam reviews and community feedback into structured decision-grade signals. Extracts recurring experience patterns, friction clusters, player archetype splits, and pre/post change signal shifts. Deterministic extraction, not sentiment or LLM summaries.

- Price: £50/month per seat with 100 processing credits
- Pilot: Free 30-day cohort-based program running Q1 2026

### Commissioned Decision Assessments (Available)
Evidence for capital allocation decisions. Answers defined strategic questions using real player behaviour, psychologically grounded modelling, and explicitly bounded uncertainty. Starting at £2,500 per 1,000 reviews and profiles analysed.

### Future Cores (Planned)
