## The AI Score: 34 of 100

It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. Berkeley clubs run 21 to 34. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. The Faculty scores 34. The same method scores every business on the registry.

| Signal | Weight | Score | What it measures | The Faculty |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Retrieval grounding | 26 | 25 | Whether you appear in the ranked results AI retrieves and cites: AI-Overview citations, organic top-10 for your money queries, and the Bing index ChatGPT leans on. | Poor |
| Off-property attestation | 20 | 41 | Volume and consistency of what others say about you: YouTube mentions, branded web mentions, third-party “best-of” lists. The cause of retrievability. | Poor |
| AI visibility | 14 | 0 | Whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews name you, and whether they name you for the right service. | Poor |
| Reviews & response | 12 | 94 | The star average is only one input. We also read volume, velocity, the specificity of review language, and response cadence. Specific reviews are what AI quotes verbatim. | Good |
| Backlink & citation authority | 8 | 58 | Domain authority and editorial quality of the sources that attest to you. | Fair |
| Google Business Profile | 8 | 90 | Required and recommended fields; update cadence. The listing AI pulls from first. | Good |
| Speed & mobile | 7 |  | Core Web Vitals at the 75th percentile, on a real phone. |  |
| Content freshness & schema | 5 | 37 | Crawl recency, intent alignment, valid JSON-LD, canonicals. | Poor |
