Scoring (Pulse)

PulseScore expresses relative public market footprint and momentum on a normalized 0–1000 scale. It is meant for comparison within PulseGate, not as an external certification.

A higher score indicates stronger and broader public evidence. It does not imply product quality, revenue, or user satisfaction.

The score is influenced by public ranking evidence, listing breadth, update activity, recency, and the consistency of identity resolution across sources.

• Durable entity presence and corroborated public references
• Recent intake and update signals
• Breadth across source families rather than one-source spikes
• Confidence controls that cap weak evidence

PulseGate normalizes evidence across windows so that ranking movement can be compared without turning every short-term spike into a permanent market lead.

Windowed deltas help show movement, while all-time or wider-window scores carry more durable footprint.

Score deltas should be read together with freshness, category context, and sparklines. Short-term movement often reflects new public evidence landing before longer-term stability is established.

• Use trend and freshness to interpret recent movement
• Treat ties as shared score bands, not false precision
• Compare within relevant categories or windows where possible

PulseScore intentionally withholds some implementation detail to protect model integrity, but the page remains explicit about what the score is and is not.

• Public-source bias remains
• Some categories refresh more smoothly than others
• Low-evidence entities may have wider confidence bands
• The score is directional and may lag source-side reality
