Business Performance Score:

Accountability and Opportunity
At the heart of Project Breathe’s commitment to fairness and merit-based growth is the Business Performance Score—our version of a credit score for businesses within the network. This score isn’t just a number; it’s a reflection of how well businesses are performing, ethically operating, and meeting their commitments.

How the Business Performance Score Works:

Performance-Based Metrics: The Business Performance Score evaluates key business operations, including timely delivery, quality of products or services, adherence to ethical standards, and overall reliability. Every transaction and contract within the network impacts the score.

Ethical Practices Matter: Unlike traditional credit scores, which are often driven solely by financial performance, our system takes into account the ethics and integrity of each business. Companies that treat employees fairly, source responsibly, and maintain transparent practices will score higher, making them eligible for more exclusive contracts and larger opportunities.

Merit-Based Growth: The score isn’t just about what a business has done—it’s about where it’s headed. Businesses that may be new or have faced challenges aren’t penalized but are given opportunities to improve their score by taking advantage of network resources like consulting, financial assistance, and peer collaboration.

Accountability and Consequences: While we believe in second chances, businesses that misuse funds, fail to meet their obligations, or violate ethical standards will see their score decrease. This ensures that everyone in the network is held accountable and that resources go to businesses that operate responsibly. Misuse of resources could lead to temporary or permanent loss of access to the fund, depending on the severity of the violation.

Transparency and Fairness: The Business Performance Score is calculated through a combination of human oversight and AI-driven evaluations, ensuring a balance between personal judgment and data analysis. Each business’s score is visible to potential partners and corporations within the network, allowing businesses to compete not just on price but on reliability, ethics, and overall performance.
The Benefits of a High Score:

Exclusive Contracts: Businesses with high performance scores gain access to more lucrative and exclusive contracts that would otherwise be out of reach.
Increased Trust: A high score serves as a certification of trustworthiness and reliability, giving clients and partners confidence in the business’s ability to deliver.

Growth Opportunities: A high score opens doors to larger projects, greater investment, and more opportunities within the network, allowing businesses to expand without the traditional corporate gatekeepers.
