What BostonIntel Measures

What the Public Planning Score Means

The Public Planning Score estimates how easy it is for a normal person to understand menu options, events, visit basics, useful links, and source confidence from public information. It does not rate food quality, service quality, crowd quality, or whether a venue is worth visiting.

Signals We Look For

• MenusWhether menu information, prices, PDFs, or external menu links are discoverable.
• EventsWhether event pages, future dates, recurring events, calendars, or stale signals are visible.
• Visit basicsWhether address, phone, hours, maps, mobile readiness, and social links are easy to find.
• ConfidenceWhether facts were auto-detected, manually reviewed, Google-backed, blocked, or need confirmation.

How Planning Signals Power Matching

BostonIntel uses detected planning signals to group venues by practical user intents, such as food planning, event planning, sports nights, live music, trivia, karaoke, or quick decisions. A match means public signals were found that may support that kind of plan. It does not guarantee an event is happening, a menu item is available, or that the venue will fit someone’s personal taste. Time-sensitive details should be confirmed with the official venue link before going.

Limits and Corrections

Automated scans can miss things, especially content hidden behind scripts, images, social platforms, PDFs, or bot protection. Public pages show signals and uncertainty as of the latest scan date: 2026-05-27.

Corrections are welcome. The goal is to help people plan and help venues become easier to understand online, not to dunk on local businesses.
