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.

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).

Strong venue and staff appeal undermined by operational failures and unresolved facility design issues.
“Amazing Adidas padel courts and awesome people, always guaranteed to have an epic time!”
“Venue locked at 06:20 for confirmed 06:30 booking with no staff contact available.”
Sample of 5 is heavily skewed positive (3x five-star reviews, likely curated by Google). Two critical one-star reviews expose serious operational and design failures that contradict the glowing testimonials. The 4.5 aggregate from 15 total reviews suggests real dissatisfaction exists beyond this sample. Small sample size limits confidence in sentiment weighting.
