Methodology 2.0

A deterministic 0-100 measure of business readiness.

The same measurable method applies to every plan. A subscription is never a scoring input, and historical v1 snapshots keep their original version.

Published weighting

Information coverage 30%, explicit owner verification 30%, customer-question answerability 30%, and confirmation freshness 10%.

Current and potential

Current readiness reflects truth now. Verified potential shows what the already-discovered record could score if confirmed now; it never invents missing answers.

Freshness bands

Fresh is 0-7 days, approaching is 8-13, due is 14-27, and materially stale is 28+ days. A business never confirmed receives zero freshness credit.

Interpretation

The score is not an estimate of ranking in any external AI product. Paid services can improve underlying data quality but cannot buy points directly.
