Commercial culture

Sponsorship

The framework for measuring event audience quality, sponsor fit and commercial relevance—designed around verified records rather than headline attendance.

Audience quality before audience size

A sponsor should know who was in the room, not merely how many people passed through it.

Event Audience Quality Score™

In development

Measures the commercial quality of an event audience rather than its size, so that a smaller edition with concentrated trade attendance can be shown to outperform a larger general-admission one.

Coverage rule. Computed only from a Verified Event Record: check-in or registration data covering at least 70 per cent of attendance, an audience survey meeting the sample floor, and accreditation records. Self-reported attendance alone yields no score.
