The origin story

Logan plays dynasty on Sleeper. His leagues run IDP. And for years, his workflow looked like this: one tab for trade values, another tab for scouting, a third for news, ChatGPT open for a quick opinion, and straight-up guessing on every defensive player decision. Five tools, none of them talking to each other, none of them aware of his actual roster.

Sound familiar? That was Logan’s workflow too — not because he was lazy, but because nothing better existed.

The IDP moment

The breaking point wasn’t offense. Offensive tools were everywhere — trade calculators, scouting sites, ranking lists, podcasts. Imperfect, but they existed.

The breaking point was defense. Half the roster in Logan’s IDP leagues was linebackers, safeties, and edge rushers, and every tool he tried treated those players like they didn’t exist. Trade calculators wouldn’t grade a linebacker deal. Scouting sites covered maybe a dozen defensive players. Weekly ranking sheets stopped updating two months into the season.

That was the gap. Not a small one. An entire half of his roster with zero analytical support.

What Verdict is

An AI dynasty manager built exclusively for Sleeper. It connects to your league in 30 seconds, scores every player on your roster with four proprietary metrics, and gives you actual recommendations — not data to interpret on your own.

It scores offense and defense with the same depth. It scans every roster in your league against yours across multiple trade templates and finds the ones worth making. It writes the trade pitch you can paste straight into Sleeper DMs.

2,000+ IDP scouting reports. 3,000+ total. Three seasons of real NFL game data. Every feature — trades, waivers, draft, sit/start, scouting — works for both sides of the ball.

Not a media company

Verdict doesn’t publish rankings lists. It doesn’t run a podcast. It doesn’t sell hot takes or “expert” opinions.

It connects to your league and gives you personalized, data-driven recommendations based on your roster, your scoring settings, and your leaguemates’ rosters. Two managers in different leagues get different answers for the same player. That’s the point.

The scoring engine runs on three seasons of NFL game data and 32 hand-curated team schemes. When Verdict says sell, there’s a reason backed by numbers — not because someone had a hot take on a Tuesday.

Who built it

Logan Rivenes — Founder

15+ years of fantasy football. Dynasty IDP manager on Sleeper. Built Verdict because the five-tab workflow was broken and nobody was fixing the defense problem. Based in Sacramento, CA.

This is a solo founder product. No venture capital, no advisory board, no “team of 50 passionate experts.” One person who plays the same format you do, building the tool he actually uses every week.
