I trust them because they are a "scouting service" that 3/4 of NFL Teams use.

You haven't provided it nor has anyone else.

If you trust them..you have to trust their methodology.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Btw I would consider them a "rating service" not a "scouting service".

They say ¾ of NFL teams. You say you heard 11 which is substantial too. So fair to say it’s somewhere between there.

Even at only 11 teams who subscribe, that’s powerful evidence supporting their legitimacy.

I don’t have to trust their methodology; I don’t even have to know what it is.

A methodology is like a recipe. If someone came up with a new tooth cleaner that did wonders for teeth and three of four dentists used or recommended it, I don’t have to know the ingredients in it to put trust in it.

The trust is in (1) the high number of dentists who are for it, and (2) the reasonable to good results.

Likewise here. If 11-22 NFL teams subscribe, that should end the inquiry on legitimacy. That’s really the only exhibit necessary to make an open and shut case.

But additional supporting evidence is that the results/ratings are reasonably on target.

Intimate knowledge into methodology would be nice but not necessary.
