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 SARScore describes one real journey from a defined arrival point to a specific destination. Four parts of that journey are measured and scored.

  1. Arrival pointWhere the assessed journey begins, such as parking, drop-off, pavement or public transport
  2. ApproachDistance, surfaces, kerbs and crossings
  3. EntrySteps, thresholds, doors and the entry process
  4. Changing levelsStairs, ramps and lifts, where needed
  5. Internal journeyCorridors, doors, signs and the route through the building
  6. DestinationThe reception, counter, unit or other place being reached

The five-point difficulty scale

Scores run from 1, Very easy, to 5, Very difficult.

  1. Very easy
  2. Easy
  3. Moderate
  4. Difficult
  5. Very difficult

A verified barrier that cannot be avoided, such as no usable step-free route, can determine the overall score. Read the methodology

Building the baseline

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

Data note The original SARScore proved the concept. Its records are archived privately and are excluded from these figures. Every number above comes from the rebuilt platform.

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.
