Of clubs still use Excel to track
A £500,000 payment. Missed, because it was tracked in Excel, and the person who managed it left.
Contingency payments now make up 15% of all transfer fees, 5x more than in 2015. Every match can trigger new obligations. Yet most clubs are still managing this in Excel: one person checking spreadsheets every weekend, tracking 15–20 clauses per contract, hoping nothing falls through the cracks.
"You can easily miss a huge amount of money if you don't have all the data together."
"We didn't have any structure, using spreadsheets, trying to have the data together. It was hard to know: do we track everything, do we miss anything?"

4 hours back every week. BSC Young Boys' CFO reported that Contingency AI saved their finance team hours of manual work every week.

Questions we get asked a lot.
Contingency payments are conditional transfer fees, clauses in player contracts that trigger on specific events: goals, appearances, promotions, resale percentages. They can be incoming (money owed to you) or outgoing (money you owe). In 2025, they make up 15% of all transfer fees globally, 5x more than a decade ago.
Our AI achieves an average of 90% accuracy on initial contract extraction. Every contract then goes through TransferRoom's legal operations review, bringing further accuracy before it appears in your dashboard. You don't rely on AI alone for financial obligations.
Yes. Contingency AI is GDPR, ITAR, HIPAA and CMMC compliant. Contract data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with strict access controls and a full audit log. We only ever use your data to operate the platform, never for any other purpose.
Most clubs are fully onboarded within 30 days of signing. That includes AI extraction of all existing contracts, legal review of extracted clauses, and integration with your live performance data. No IT project, no months of implementation.
No. Contingency AI is a standalone product. You don't need an existing TransferRoom subscription to use it. The TransferRoom connection means Contingency AI benefits from the world's largest network of live transfer data, but it operates independently of the main platform.
Contingency AI is designed for the modern contract landscape meant to de-risk purchases, translating complex contractual language into trackable financial metrics. We handle complexity through a combination of AI-assisted extraction and granular logic settings
A 20-minute call where we walk through the platform using a real club scenario. We'll also look at your current setup and show you specifically how Contingency AI would work with your contracts and what efficiencies the platform can bring for your finance team.
Contingency AI handles player transfer agreements, loan agreements, player employment contracts, and any document containing conditional payment clauses. If a clause type isn't currently supported, our team can review and add it, the system is built to handle the full complexity of modern football deals.
Yes. The system utilises a dedicated Forecast Tab to transform uncertain contract clauses into predictable financial data. Based on real-time performance and fixture density, the platform projects cash flow requirements for 30, 60, and 90-day windows.
Key Features
- Probability-Based Budgeting: Costs are categorised by certainty levels: Certain (100%), Highly Likely (>80%), and Likely (50-80%)
- While the system does not send automated external notifications, it provides an always-on, daily-updated dashboard.
- Projections automatically factor in player injury status, current performance rates (e.g., goals/starts per match), and upcoming squad rotation.
Absolutely. Contingency AI acts as a unified source of truth for your entire talent ecosystem. The platform allows you to seamlessly manage Player Salary Contracts and Agency Fees alongside Transfer Agreements.
The Salary Contracts module provides a comprehensive toolkit for managing the full compensation lifecycle, from core base wages and guaranteed payments (such as sign-on and loyalty bonuses) to performance-linked incentives for matches and goal contributions.
Contingency AI provides "Decision Intelligence" to help you model your club’s future by bridging the gap between scouting and finance. The platform predicts upcoming squad gaps by analyzing contract expiries and clause triggers months in advance, while also projecting how performance bonuses will impact your Profit and Sustainability (PSR/FFP) standing. Additionally, it identifies Market Opportunity Alerts, such as "forgotten" sell-on fees from past transfers, to surface unexpected capital windfalls that can be used to fund new signings.
