The disguise
How the disguise works
Sport Spreadsheet doesn't hide the sport — it relabels it. A persona renames the columns so the same live match reads as an ordinary business artefact, while the numbers underneath stay live and correct. Here's the same row, four ways.
Four personas, one dataset
Argentina 2–1 Mexico, 62 minutes in — relabelled. Only the headers change.
