How your anonymous pulse is used
World Cup Pulse is an independent fan-research project. You tap a few questions about how you feel during the tournament. That’s it — no name, no email, no login.
- 🔒 Anonymous. We never ask who you are. We can’t identify you.
- ⏭️ Skip anything. Every question is optional.
- 🧪 Research only. Answers are aggregated for non-commercial fan-behavior research and the live results you see.
- 🚫 No personal info. Free text that looks like a phone, email, or ID is rejected before it’s ever stored.
- ✅ Your choice. Nothing is saved until you check the consent box.
Why does this exist?
Football generates oceans of opinion and almost no structured, public record of how fans actually feel — match by match, country by country — about fairness and the decisions that shape a tournament. World Cup Pulse is building exactly that: one of the largest public, anonymous fan-sentiment datasets of the 2026 World Cup. It’s created by PriorLex to study fan behavior in the open — not to sell your data.
How the indices are computed (v1.0)
Fan Confidence Index v1.0 — a 0–100 score per fan-country from four primitives: mood (initial affect, 40%), trust in the team’s coach & federation (25%), whether outcomes feel deserved (20%), and perceived risk of unfair harm, inverted (15%).
Referee Trust Index v1.0 — a 0–100 score of trust in refereeing and VAR as an institution, per fan-country: trust in the referees/VAR for their matches (50%), whether decisions are applied equally across countries (30%), and trust in the sport’s governing structures (20%). It never names or ranks individual referees. Both indices are versioned (v1.0); if weights ever change the version increments and the change is logged. Both indices appear only once a scope reaches 20+ pulses.
