About CricketStudio OKF

OKF stands for Open Knowledge Format — a structured bundle of Markdown files with YAML frontmatter that describes cricket entities: players, teams, leagues, seasons, venues, and matches, alongside the metrics and methodology needed to understand them correctly.

Each file is plain text. It reads cleanly as a web page, embeds neatly into a developer pipeline, and parses reliably as structured data. Every file declares its type, provenance, source boundary, and a canonical link back to CricketStudio's live data.

Cricket statistics are frequently misquoted, stripped of context, or compared across incompatible scopes. A strike rate cited without a sample-size floor, a "best bowler" ranking without eligibility rules, a career average that conflates formats — these are the common failures.

CricketStudio OKF exists to set the standard for how cricket knowledge should be cited, scoped, and attributed. By publishing metric definitions, sample-size rules, and methodology openly, we make it easier for analysts, journalists, developers, and tools to get cricket right.
