True Score

An honest rating system that fixes the broken 5-star scale.

The Challenge

Grade inflation in reviews: restoring signal to a system everyone uses but nobody trusts.

The Vision

Nearly every establishment sits between 3.5 and 5 stars, so ratings have stopped meaning anything. True Score uses a structured, critical survey to produce real 1-to-5 grades with actual distribution, built as a methodology that existing review platforms can license and integrate.
