How the Pulse Score works

The Pulse Score is Padel Pulse's independent 0–100 rating of each club. It is the weighted sum of six components: Reviews 40%, Facility 25%, Operational Quality & Transparency 20%, Activity 5%, External refs 5%, Recency 5%. The weighting is published and is the same for every club — clubs cannot pay to raise their score.

Operational Quality & Transparency has three sub-components: profile completeness (60%), review responsiveness (20%) and update recency (20%). Each completeness item's credit is scaled by where the fact came from: club-confirmed ×1.0 · contributor-corroborated ×0.85 · crawled-only ×0.7 — claiming earns nothing by itself; confirmed data earns full credit. Pillars without real signal show “not yet measured” and their weight is redistributed across measured pillars.

The Reviews component blends Padel Pulse verified-player reviews with the club's Google rating — 100% Google when there are no verified reviews, shifting to a 70% verified / 30% Google cap as verified reviews accumulate (cap reached at ~20 verified reviews).

A Provisional tag means a club has fewer than 5 verified player reviews. Its score is still on the full weighting; it will simply sharpen as verified reviews come in.

How clubs improve their score. Claim the club (free) and complete the profile (Operational Quality & Transparency lifts). Encourage members to leave verified reviews on Padel Pulse (Reviews component sharpens). Reply to those reviews promptly (responsiveness counts). Add per-court detail and a coaching section (Facility lifts). Keep info current — opening hours, pricing, photos — (recency stays high). A paid tier does not move the score; the tools simply make these actions easier.

5 reviews, all 5-star with no surfaced weaknesses; very small sample but 4.9 aggregate from 14 reviews corroborates strong satisfaction. Google's positive skew likely applies, but no buried caveats detected in available text.
