Hygiene guides

Hygiene score vs checklist

A checklist measures completion. A score is a quality signal from the same visual rules — not a certificate.

What this page covers

01

Two different questions

Checklist: was the task done? Score: is the visible result consistent? The first closes a work order. The second shows branch drift. Hygio produces the second; your FM software may already hold the first.

A checklist closes a work order. A score shows branch drift. Hygio produces the second; your current software may already hold the first.

  • Combined use is discussed without inventing vendor names.
  • CSV/API/work-order scope is clarified in the demo.

Using them together

Many buyers keep their checklist or CMMS. Hygio is the evidence layer: point, photo, label. Integration scope (CSV, API, work orders) is clarified in the demo; we do not invent vendor names.

Many buyers keep the checklist. The right frame: a consistent visual signal for internal ops and vendor oversight.

03

The buying question

"Why Hygio if we already have forms?" Because forms do not show quality. A score is also not a legal-compliance certificate. The right frame: a consistent visual signal for internal ops and vendor oversight. See it on your point types in a live demo.

Buying note

The quote follows point count, site scale, and report scope. There is no self-serve tariff.

Questions buyers ask

01Should we drop the checklist entirely?

Not required. A checklist closes a work order; a score shows branch drift. Many buyers keep the form. Scope — who holds completion versus proof — is split in the demo.

02Why a separate layer if we have FM/CMMS?

FM often stays. Hygio is the evidence layer: is the visible result consistent? Combined use is discussed without inventing vendor names. CSV/API/work-order scope is clarified in the demo.

03Is the score a legal-compliance certificate?

No. There are two questions: was the task done, and is the visible result consistent? The score serves the second; it is not a third-party audit or legal certificate.

04How is pricing set?

Point count, site scale, and report scope. There is no self-serve tariff; a quote follows the demo. 15–30 minutes, no credit card.

05What is the short answer to 'why Hygio if we have forms?'

Forms do not show quality. In a live demo you see visible result and drift on your point types. Your map speaks, not a marketing line.
