The answers most operators ask before commissioning their first assessment.
How is Nuvio different from mystery shopping?+
Mystery shopping reports describe a single visit. Nuvio applies a proprietary 100-point framework, weighted across six pillars, benchmarked nationally and translated into financial impact, closer to a McKinsey diagnostic than a clipboard checklist.
How is the Nuvio Score™ calculated?+
Each visit is scored across six weighted pillars by an independent assessor, normalised against our national dataset, and audited by our standards panel before release.
How often should assessments occur?+
We recommend quarterly assessments for benchmarking, and monthly cadence for businesses pursuing certification or performance improvement targets.
What is Nuvio Certification?+
Certification is awarded only to businesses sustaining a Nuvio Score™ above the national excellence threshold across consecutive assessment cycles.
Can certification be lost?+
Yes. Certification is a living standard. A business falling below the threshold for two consecutive cycles enters a 90-day remediation window before delisting.
How does benchmarking work?+
Your scores are compared against anonymised peers in your category and region, surfacing percentile rank, competitive gaps and revenue opportunity.
