# Quick Start

> Tour every Sports Index surface in five minutes

Sports Index is organized around six public surfaces. No account is needed to browse any of them.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Explore — the daily hub">
    [sportsindex.io/explore](https://sportsindex.io/explore) is the front page: a live ticker of movers, the day's AI-written stories, top coverage, trending athletes, conference filters, and the market table. Most journeys start here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Leaderboard — the ranked view">
    [The Influence Leaderboard](https://sportsindex.io/leaderboard) ranks 6,000+ Power 4 athletes by following, growth, and coverage — filterable by conference and position, with per-athlete trend sparklines.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Stats — the on-field layer">
    [sportsindex.io/stats](https://sportsindex.io/stats) covers statistical leaders, percentiles, and comparisons built on game-by-game data.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Newsroom — every indexed item">
    [The Newsroom](https://sportsindex.io/newsroom) is the full coverage corpus: every tracked story and post, the moment it's indexed, filterable by player, school, conference, source, platform, attribution, and date range.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Content — AI stories & the newsletter">
    [sportsindex.io/content](https://sportsindex.io/content) archives the AI-written daily stories (every claim cited back to its sources) alongside the Sports Index newsletter. Subscribe there for the daily brief.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sources — what feeds the index">
    [sportsindex.io/sources](https://sportsindex.io/sources) publishes the source sets behind the indices, with live post counts and coverage spans.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Athlete pages

Search any athlete from the navigation bar (or click any name anywhere on the platform) to reach their page: coverage, stats tabs, social reach, news and media — all generated automatically and updated as new coverage is indexed.
