McKinney – September 11, 2026 -- Coaching AI, a division of Eneje' Consulting Firm, has launched a coaching intelligence platform powered by the Coaching Performance Assessment System (CPAS), an NFL-approved algorithmic grading engine that scores coaches using data from more than 1,600 coaches across the NFL and NCAA.

Platform grades coaches against opposing position groups using wins, losses and player development data

CPAS evaluates coaching units head-to-head, offensive line against defensive line, wide receivers against defensive backs, applying a proprietary algorithm to playoff performance and player development outcomes. The system pairs quantitative scoring with a qualitative leadership assessment derived from peer-reviewed research, delivering a three-layer profile: an objective performance grade, Weekly In-Season Reports on in-game decisions, and ongoing position-group intelligence updated through the season.

Plymouth, Massachusetts – September 11, 2026 -- CDF Corporation has launched the Squiz® System in North America, an automated liner evacuation technology that cut residual product waste by up to 96 percent in manufacturer trials on thick cosmetic creams. The system targets a persistent cost center in liquid manufacturing: product left behind inside intermediate bulk container (IBC) liners after conventional pumping.

System reduces residual product to 0.1-0.2 percent after dispense

Manufacturers handling thick, slow-moving liquids that cling to liner walls typically lose measurable product volume across every container cycle, a loss that compounds over multiple cycles per year. CDF states the Squiz System brings average residual product levels down to between 0.1 and 0.2 percent, a sharp reduction from standard pumping outcomes.
