The hardest part of a journey is often the part no map describes.

SARScore measures the barriers between arrival and destination, helping disabled people, families, workers and organisations plan with evidence.

The accessibility time tax

Access uncertainty does not just inconvenience people. It decides whether they go at all, and it quietly taxes hours from every week.

1 in 2
do not feel confident visiting new places because of access concerns
53%
spend an extra 1–5 hours every week making sure their access needs will be met
80%
have had a disappointing trip or changed plans because of poor accessibility
85%
say clear, accurate access information would be the single most effective fix

What SARScore measures

Every score describes one real journey, from a practical arrival point to a specific destination, in five measured stages.

  1. Arrival pointParking bay, drop-off point, pavement or public transport stop
  2. ApproachDistance, surfaces, kerbs and crossings
  3. EntrySteps, doors and the entry process
  4. Change levelStairs, ramps and lifts, where relevant
  5. DestinationThe internal route to the final door

Scores run from 1, very easy, to 5, very difficult. An unavoidable decisive barrier, such as no usable step-free route, can determine the overall result. Read the methodology

Baseline building

These metrics publish once a minimum sample exists; small samples are labelled, never inflated.

The original SARScore proved the concept; its records are archived privately and never appear in these numbers. Everything above is generated live by the new platform.

What a result looks like

Deliberately different journeys: the friction a map cannot show.

The operational access tax

The same five stages tax every organisation that visits addresses for a living, from the moment a driver starts looking for somewhere to stop. Last-mile research names them as major, routinely unmeasured components of service time; SARScore measures exactly these.

No invented national figures appear here. Observed pilot metrics live in the Pilot Pulse above; operational time-loss will be modelled only when a partner supplies real stop volumes, with the formula and assumptions published. Map your organisation's territory →

How it works

Search

Any UK address. See its score, the evidence behind it, and how fresh it is.

Understand

The journey is scored in stages, with decisive barriers always shown first.

Verify

Report what you observed on a visit. A live, location-bound visit is what publishes and refreshes scores. Verification is public in full on the methodology page.

Help measure the world as it really is.

Every verified visit turns an unknown doorstep into evidence someone can plan around. The pilot is measuring London first: one route, one entrance, one lift at a time.
