600+ qualified businesses
A filtered intake centered on salon and beauty businesses in Eixample, alongside businesses already published by Ground Truth Verified.
Founding research edition
Barcelona,
measured carefully.
The Index begins with a focused, useful dataset—not a premature claim to represent the whole city. Coverage will expand in documented stages.
Current scope
Strong enough to learn from. Honest about what it cannot yet say.
The founding intake contains more than 600 filtered businesses, primarily salons and beauty businesses in Eixample. The precise inclusion count will be frozen and published with the first release.
This concentration makes the dataset well suited to an Eixample beauty and salon baseline. It is not yet representative of every Barcelona category or neighborhood, and we will not present it as though it is.
Coverage path
From a focused baseline to a city-scale knowledge system.
Neighborhood expansion
Add Gràcia and Ciutat Vella, including the Barri Gòtic, while widening category coverage and measurement depth.
3,000–4,000 businesses
Build enough breadth for responsible neighborhood, category, district, and eventually Barcelona-level comparisons.
First public release
What the opening Barcelona study is designed to show.
Knowledge coverage
Which essential business facts are present, missing, or difficult to confirm across the sample.
Platform consistency
Where public sources agree and where inconsistent names, locations, websites, or categories create confusion.
AI readiness
How clearly businesses can be discovered and understood by search and AI systems under the published methodology.
No database required yet
The measurement structure is ready before the live connection.
The first dashboards will be attached after the business pipeline and measurement fields are stable. Until then, the site establishes the scope, definitions, and publication rules without creating a new monthly software cost.
