Maya is eleven.Four adults know a quarter of her each.

This is the story of one child's development over fourteen months — what was observed, who acted on it, and what changed. Read it first. The product makes sense afterwards.

Part one · The story

Fourteen months in a child's development

  1. 01Before

    Nobody had the whole picture

    Maya is 11. Her PE teacher sees her run. Her coach sees her play on Saturdays. Her parents see her at dinner and at bedtime. Her class teacher sees a quiet child in a large group. Four people, four fragments, none of them wrong — and none of them enough to know what she actually needs this term.

  2. 02The assessment

    One morning, in a normal PE period

    No lab, no white coats. Trained school staff run the same set of structured activities every child does: a shuttle run, a balance hold, a jump, a pattern task on a tablet, a short check-in about sleep and mood, and a habits questionnaire her parents complete at home. Forty minutes. Nothing is scored against a talent ranking.

  3. 03What came back

    Observations, written in plain language

    Maya finished every endurance round. Her knee position varied during single-leg tasks. She read space unusually well in small-sided games and responded better to being shown than told. Breakfast was skipped two school days a week. In big groups she contributed less. Not a diagnosis. Just what was seen, and what to do about it.

  4. 04What changed

    The same activities, four months later

    Her warm-up now includes landing control. Her coach demonstrates before explaining. Breakfast happens on four more days. At the next cycle the single-leg holds are steadier, and the focus moves on — endurance pacing, and a rotating lead role in small groups. Then it happens again. That repetition is the product.

Part two · What Splink is

A longitudinal record of how a child is developing

Splink Pro turns repeated, protocol-consistent observations into one record that follows the child — and gives every adult around them the slice they can actually act on.

It is not a talent-identification engine, a medical device, or a scoreboard.

Physical

Movement quality, coordination and endurance in structured activities.

Nutrition

Reported fuelling and hydration habits around school and training days.

Cognitive

Attention, decision speed and spatial reasoning in play-based tasks.

Emotional

Self-reported wellbeing and observed behaviour in group settings.

Part three · Why it exists

Four convictions the product is built on

01

Development is longitudinal, so measurement must be too

A single test tells you about one morning. Repeated assessments under the same protocol tell you about a child. Splink is built around the cycle — assess, act, reassess, compare, update guidance — not around a one-off report.

02

A child is not four separate children

Physical, nutrition, cognitive and emotional signals are recorded together, because sleep affects attention, fuelling affects endurance, and confidence affects participation. Holistic is the method, not the marketing.

03

Everyone around the child needs a different screen

The child needs one focus. The parent needs plain language. The coach needs session adaptations. The school needs coverage. Government needs de-identified aggregates. Same record, role-based views.

04

Defensible by design

Splink does not predict talent, project peak windows or make clinical claims. Every indicator links back to the activity, the protocol and its limitations — which is what makes it usable by schools and public bodies.
