It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. Fort Collins eye care centers run 25 to 70. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. Foothills Vision and Eye Care scores 35, below the Fort Collins average of 50. The same method scores every business on the registry.
| Signal | Weight | Score | What it measures | Foothills Vision and Eye Care |

</html>This is the evidence for every fact on this page, across Locals, Services, Team, Visit, Reputation and Updates. Each reference names the fact, the source, what kind of source it is, and the date it was checked, with a link and an archived copy so anyone can verify it. Visitor references are dated firsthand accounts. AI guesses record what an AI engine said on that date, not what is true.
