In recent years, Toulouse has worked hand in hand with Zelus Analytics, a sports data company founded by Luke Bornn – former head of Rome analysis – in which RedBird owns a 50% share and with a team of data scientists and engineers, most spread across the United States. The French club has a database covering up to 70 leagues around the world. Zelus carries out a detailed analysis on the players, analyzing the action made by the player in question, both when he has the ball and when he doesn't have it, in all situations and in various matches. “Our mission is to address these challenges by building the world's leading sports intelligence platform” is their motto.
