Operational Certification

Earn the badge. Prove it publicly.

Locations that sustain OpsScore thresholds for 30 to 180 consecutive days earn a tiered digital badge — Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum. Each badge is publicly shareable and live-verifiable.

Operational credibility, made verifiable

Star ratings are a snapshot. Certifications are a sustained track record. When customers, franchisors, or investors ask “how consistently do you operate?” — a live OpsScaleIQ certification answers that question with cryptographically timestamped, uneditable data.

How certification is earned

  1. 1Daily snapshot — The OpsScore cron runs nightly, computing each location's aggregate failure resolution rate, severity-weighted score, and SLA compliance.
  2. 2Streak counting — Consecutive qualifying days are tracked. A single day below threshold resets the streak to zero.
  3. 3Badge issuance — When a location crosses a tier threshold, a certification record is created with a unique public slug and “valid through end-of-month” expiry.
  4. 4Live monitoring — Each badge's public URL reflects the real-time status. Suspended or expired badges show a clear warning banner.

Why it matters for franchisors

FDD Item 19 disclosures and franchise renewal conversations have historically relied on anecdote. With Operational Excellence Certifications, franchisors can point to publicly auditable, real-time operational performance data as part of standardized brand compliance reporting. Locations that hold Platinum status represent your brand the way you intend. Those that don't are instantly visible.

Certification capabilities

Four-Tier Badge System

Bronze (30d ≥70), Silver (60d ≥78), Gold (90d ≥85), and Platinum (180d ≥92) — each tier requires progressively longer OpsScore streaks.

Live-Verifiable Public URL

Every earned badge gets a unique public URL at /cert/[slug]. Customers and franchisors can verify authenticity in real time — no PDFs, no forgeries.

Auto-Suspension on Score Drop

If OpsScore falls below the qualifying threshold for 3 consecutive days, the badge is automatically suspended and the public page reflects the change immediately.

Franchisors see all active, in-progress, and suspended certifications across every location in one dashboard — with drill-down to the qualifying score history.

Progress Tracking for In-Progress Locations

Locations working toward their next tier see a live progress bar showing qualifying days completed vs. days required, with daily OpsScore snapshots.
