PBL TRACE
10The open ecosystem

TRACE is the athlete's operating system. Partners plug in under governance.

Three integration tiers create a structured ecosystem. Once a partner is integrated, they benefit from network effects of being part of the structured layer, and TRACE becomes indispensable as the central hub.
