Brand Integrity Scorecard

Definition

The Brand Integrity Scorecard is a proprietary measurement framework designed by Paul F. Accornero that scores how consistently a brand’s promises are delivered—and how machine-readable those proofs are across channels.

Executive Summary

Why it matters: In an age of algorithmic scrutiny, traditional brand health metrics are insufficient. This scorecard provides a new management tool to ensure a brand's value is machine-readable and defensible.

The Scorecard Pillars (proprietary): The scorecard is a framework designed by Paul F. Accornero (The AI Praxis) to track a brand's performance based on specific, provable facts.

Implications: This framework forces a brand to shift its focus from the art of perception to the science of verifiable value, aligning the entire commercial function around a single goal: being the most logical choice for a machine.

Origin: The concept is a thoughtful synthesis of established brand evaluation, ethics, and business continuity frameworks, specifically adapted for the unique challenges of the agentic age.

Strategic Imperative: It is the tool that moves a company from a conceptual understanding of the "Great Value Sort" to a practical, data-driven methodology for winning it.

Example in Practice

Instead of relying on an expensive ad campaign to project an image of quality, a brand would use the Brand Integrity Scorecard to track its product return rate against a category average. An AI agent, programmed to minimize risk, could use this metric to justify choosing a brand with a lower return rate over one with higher brand awareness.
