HDScores Solution

HDScores is built on the fact that every food service establishment gets a health department inspection. No matter the establishments’s shape or size, purpose, risk category or geography they are required by law to be inspected anywhere from 1-6 times a year. (At least in the US, Canada & the UK.) We believe by answering the question “How clean are the establishments we frequent?”, HDScores will be creating transparency in the currently fractured systems and creating a better industry for consumers and establishment and inspectors.

HDScores believe in these basic set of requirements for doing business with publicly available data.

  • Data Access

    The Information is everything… As publicly available data is released we will inform our users. We encourage the traditional web user along with mobile user to use our platform, giving people real-time access to health department inspection information wherever they are.

  • Open Data

    Government, Public and Private Organizations have been generating more data than ever before. Our platform creates instant access to the information that was previously hard to find, search, and understand.

  • Data Integrity

    The data is only provides a value when the integrity is maintained throughout the whole data life cycle. Collating and creating Big, Valuable Data is a very expensive process and requires lots of investment and plenty of engineering resources to create a rigorous and high-quality set of data streams.

    Data Integrity comes down to Data Accuracy, before gaining insight and building a plan of action based on Big Data, it’s important to know that we can trust this data to make the right decisions. While this might seem like a daunting exercise, we have taken a few fairly achievable steps to do so. Then maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the data during use.

    a. We source data from only trusted sources: trust matters.
    b. We rely on data from partnerships.

    If and when in doubt, we ask around and look for data validation that our sources and partnerships can provide. We are not shy about getting more information from our partners and data providers.

  • Relationships for Success

    HDScores is built on data and relationships with that data; from collection to publishing to distribution and feedback.  And the stronger we can build these relationships, the more opportunity we will create for innovation and collaboration. HDScores realized that by releasing this data we can create a new set of challenges for the food service industry, government, and related organizations. We hope to be able to solve most of those issues, but we will not remove, modify or back down to threats from concerned parties about the distribution of publicly available data.
