For pickleball, padel, and tennis operators
Fill sessions. Recover quiet players.
A player signs up for open play, shows up once, and never comes back. They weren't a bad fit — they just didn't know anyone and no one followed up.
Private preview. No migration. No members contacted.
Who this is for
Built for operators with real demand and fragile follow-through.

- Identify higher-frequency potential
Common friction
Make the questions behind drop-off visible.

Practical launch checklist
How to improve this workflow without guessing.
Choose one audience
Start with one racket cohort and one transition in the participation journey. A focused first test makes the result interpretable.
Verify the answer source
Review the current offering, schedule, policy, and booking or registration path before Branch answers the questions people ask about branch for pickleball, padel, and tennis.
Define the human boundary
Specify what Branch may answer, recommend, or record, and which safety, billing, placement, or policy uncertainty must go to staff.
Measure the next state
Track the move from interest to the next completed action and verified attendance. Keep clicks, messages, and RSVP intent separate.
WORKED EXAMPLE
New players don't know what level to join
Turn this friction into one approved answer and one clear next action. If the source does not establish the answer, show the uncertainty and escalate it.
MEASUREMENT
Report movement, not message volume
Use the recorded states for this vertical’s workflow and name the source for attendance. A modeled estimate or recommendation is not verified participation.
