Understand the breadth of SportsDatabase coverage, freshness guarantees, and schema resources. Use this guide to plan your ingestion strategy and communicate expectations with stakeholders.
Nightly sync from SportsData.db imports with steward moderation overlays
Live event delta feeds (≤90s) for paid tiers, nightly for free tier
Post-event backfill within 15 minutes, leaderboard recalcs hourly
Every dataset ships with explicit refresh SLAs. Paid tiers receive prioritized pipelines and steward escalations when anomalies trigger alerts.

| Taxonomy | Nightly | Nightly + steward hotfixes | On-demand backfills |
| Schedules | Nightly | Hourly | ≤5 minutes |

Data flows through multiple enrichment and validation stages. Steward reviewers triage anomalies and escalate urgent fixes to engineering with clear SLAs.
Breaking field removals require 60-day notice. Additive changes ship behind preview headers and are announced via changelog.
All datasets trace back to steward-sourced evidence. We version provenance documents and make them available on request.
Automated validation gates enforce referential integrity, enum ranges, and duplicate detection before data is promoted.
