Our Mission

The Professional Credibility Index (PCI)

The Professional Credibility Index (PCI) is the foundation of our verification platform, a completely objective, merit-based scoring system that measures what truly matters: operational stability, regulatory compliance, customer satisfaction, professional training, and digital presence. Every restoration business that joins our network earns their rating based solely on verifiable criteria, with zero subjectivity or bias.

We sell visibility, not ratings. Your score is determined entirely by your business’s measurable quality and professionalism. Whether you achieve an A+, A, or B+ rating, your earned status reflects the trust you’ve built with customers, regulators, and the industry. Use the calculator below to discover where you stand and what it takes to join the verified network.

Kindly Note: Your displayed rating is an approximate estimate; the final verified result requires direct evaluation by our team to confirm all qualifying details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to help restoration business owners understand how the PCI Calculator works, what the score means, and how to qualify for verification.

Didn’t find your question?
What exactly does my PCI Score measure?

It measures your company’s professional credibility and digital readiness, including licensing, customer feedback, certifications, and online presence. It’s not just a random score; it’s a transparent indicator of how trustworthy and established your business appears to property owners and partners.

No, this calculator is a self-assessment tool. It helps you understand your current standing before applying for official verification. Once you pass the 60-point threshold, you can start the verification audit to earn your official Restoration Expertise badge.

Focus on your weakest categories. Most companies gain points fastest by improving Google reviews, strengthening their website, and uploading proof of licensing or insurance. After every improvement, you can retake the calculator to see your progress instantly.

Usually, it’s because some information wasn’t entered or verified (like missing IICRC certification or low online review volume). The scoring system rewards consistency and transparency, even great companies lose points if their online presence doesn’t reflect their real quality.
