Bradford Insight Network exists to solve a specific problem: accessing elite human judgment — and using it well.

In many domains, especially professional baseball, the most valuable insight doesn't live in datasets or dashboards. It lives with experienced evaluators, coaches, and practitioners who have spent decades developing judgment — and who are rarely available through traditional expert networks or consulting firms.

Our work is built around making that insight accessible, credible, and usable.

Built on Trust, Not Transactions

Bradford Insight Network is co-founded by Rob Bradford, whose reputation and relationships span decades at the highest levels of professional baseball. Rob's standing in the game allows us to engage senior MLB-level experts — evaluators and practitioners who typically operate off-market and participate only when trust is established.

That trust changes the nature of the engagement. Experts contribute thoughtfully, independently, and in their own voice — not as paid respondents filling out generic templates.

Our starting point is always the same: knowing, credibly, who the right human is for a specific ask.

Execution That Holds Up

Access alone isn't enough. Insight only becomes valuable when it's captured clearly, delivered reliably, and integrated into real decision-making.

Client engagements are led by Eric Bradford, the firm's other principal. With more than three decades of experience designing and delivering complex, production-grade web systems, Eric oversees engagement execution end to end — from scoping and expert coordination to delivery and follow-through.

That experience matters most when nuance is at risk. Some clients already have strong internal tools and workflows for collecting expert input, and we integrate cleanly into those environments. When structure or technical enablement is needed, we design fit-for-purpose mechanisms that preserve how experts actually think — without flattening judgment to fit pre-built templates.

How We Work

Our role is not to impose a methodology or sell a platform. It's to own the engagement.

That means:

• Identifying and engaging the right experts
• Structuring interactions thoughtfully
• Managing coordination and delivery
• Ensuring insight arrives usable, contextualized, and intact

The through-line is always the same: preserve judgment, context, and intent — so expert insight can be trusted downstream.

A Deliberate Partnership

Bradford Insight Network is intentionally small and principal-led. The partnership between Rob and Eric combines elite access with disciplined execution — relationships that open doors, and systems thinking that ensures what comes through those doors actually works.

We work best with organizations that value depth over volume, judgment over noise, and credibility over convenience.
