How TheBrandScore works

Understand every element before you start - score, stages, weighting, and categories.

Score and Stages
What the number means

BrandScore is a weighted score from 0 to 100, calculated based on the elements you have genuinely checked off. Each element earns points according to its importance - Core, Important, or Standard.

70
SCORE

Your score updates in real time with every click in the assessment. You do not need to finish everything - you can see it at any point in the top right corner.

The formula: sum of points for checked elements ÷ maximum possible points × 100. The maximum for each category differs.

🟢 Starter
0 - 35%
Brand foundations are being built. Critical gaps in key elements.
🟡 Growing
36 - 60%
Good foundation, gaps to close. Strategy and digital presence are incomplete.
🔵 Established
61 - 79%
A well-built brand. Clients trust you before they have even met you.
🟣 Authority
80 - 100%
Top level of readiness. The brand attracts and converts without constant effort.
Element weighting
Not all elements are equal

The tool uses a weighted system - fundamental elements score more points because they have a greater real-world impact on your brand's market readiness.

4
points
🔴 Core

Without it, nothing else works.

These are the foundational building blocks of every brand. If you are missing them, nothing built on top can function. Examples: primary logo, colour palette, value proposition, website, final brand name.

2
points
🟡 Important

Makes the difference for positioning.

Elements with real impact on how clients find, recognise, and evaluate you. Examples: tagline, LinkedIn page, pricing strategy, CRM system, Instagram account.

1
point
⚪ Standard

Strengthens the mature brand.

Additional elements typical of established and authority-level brands. Examples: media kit, brand pattern, podcast, review systems, 90-day content calendar.

How do they affect your BrandScore?

Checking 1 Core element earns you 4 points. You would need to check 4 Standard elements to earn the same. That is why completing Core elements first is the most effective way to raise your score.

🔗 Connections between elements
What "Has prerequisites" means

Some elements logically build on previous ones. The tool tracks these dependencies to reflect the real order of building a brand.

🎨 Logo
🔄 Logo Variations
💳 Business Card
📧 Email Signature
For example: you cannot realistically have "Logo Variations" without a "Primary Logo" - so the logo is a prerequisite. Dependencies are informative, not blocking - you decide the order of building. The tool will warn you if you try to check something whose prerequisites are missing.

🔗 Has prerequisites

This means the element depends on one or more previous elements. If you do not have them yet, the tool will show you which ones when you try to check it.

⚠ Warning when checking

If you try to check an element without its prerequisites, you will see a message "Complete first: [X]". You can continue, but it is best to close gaps in order.
