We built HeatCheck HQ because we were tired of paying for bloated sportsbook tools that bury useful data behind paywalls and upsells. We wanted something fast, visual, and focused on the bets that actually matter—player props, NRFI, first basket, and team matchups. So we built it ourselves.

## What You Get

HeatCheck HQ is a free sports analytics platform with **13 specialized dashboards** across three sports.

### MLB (6 Dashboards)
- **Hot Hitters** — players on hitting streaks, heatmap-colored stat tables
- **Hitter vs Pitcher** — every batter's history against today's starter, filtered by pitch type
- **Pitching Stats** — season-long pitcher performance with advanced metrics
- **NRFI** — No Run First Inning probabilities based on pitcher matchups and park factors
- **Weather** — real-time conditions at every ballpark so you know when wind and temperature will affect totals
- **Trends** — hot and cold streaks for betting thresholds

### NBA (4 Dashboards)
- **First Basket** — tip-off win rates, first shot percentages, and starter rankings
- **Head-to-Head** — season series history, team momentum, and injury reports
- **Defense vs Position** — which teams give up the most points, rebounds, and assists by position
- **Trends** — player streaks against common prop lines

### NFL (3 Dashboards)
- **Matchup** — side-by-side team stats and game-level breakdowns
- **Defense vs Position** — positional splits for favorable matchups
- **Trends** — weekly player prop tracking

## Why It's Free

Most dashboards are completely free. We want bettors to try the tools, find edges, and tell their friends. Pro ($12/mo) unlocks MLB advanced dashboards and NFL matchup tools—but the free tier has plenty of value on its own.

## What's Coming

We're shipping new features every week. Daily picks recaps with results tracking, more educational content on how to use each dashboard, and community features for sharing picks are all in the pipeline.
