Every natural turf performance metric that matters, plus the fixture-day and tournament-delivery tools that put the data into operational use. All tested to the governing body standard, all underpinned by UKAS-accredited methodology.
A single weighted index from 0 to 100 that combines every measurable attribute of a natural turf pitch into one defensible number — traceable, repeatable, and ready to hand to an inspector, insurer or board.
