    Net Promoter Score Weight (35%):<\/strong> A crucial indicator based on customer satisfaction and loyalty metrics derived from Google review patterns. This looks at the ratio of highly satisfied customers (5-star reviews) compared to dissatisfied customers.<\/p>\n \n \n

    Google Rating Score (5%):<\/strong> Incorporates the overall Google rating on a calibrated scale.<\/p>\n \n \n

    Franchisee Ratio (7.5%):<\/strong> Evaluates the ratio of franchisee units to total units, providing insight into what % of geographies are owned and operated by franchisees and the maturity of the company’s approach to supporting franchisees.<\/p>\n \n \n
