How Hammerscore Ratings Work
Every Hammerscore company page shows one combined score. Here is exactly how it is calculated and what the labels on each review mean, so you can decide how much weight to give it.
One combined score
The score blends reviews left on Hammerscore with ratings collected from other review platforms. Ratings given on a 10-point scale are converted to the 5-star scale by halving them, then every rating counts equally in a simple average, rounded to one decimal place.
Records with no rating are shown but not counted in the score.
What the review labels mean
- Platform — where the original rating or review was posted
- Paraphrased summary — our wording of what the reviewer said, not their exact words
- Excerpt — a short quote taken from the original review
- Review text not collected — we hold the rating only; follow the source link to read it
- User-supplied — provided to us directly and not independently verified
Matches and coverage
Some collected records were matched to a company by name and are still pending identity checks, and some profiles only show part of a company’s review history. Where that applies, the company page says so.
