How it works in PINtPOINT

🟠

Amber Radar Blips

Troubled pubs appear as amber blips on your radar. The higher the FPI score, the faster they pulse. Instantly visible alongside your regular teal venue blips.

🧭

Lock-On Warning

Tap an amber blip and the compass needle turns amber. A flickering warning appears: UNDER PRESSURE, AT RISK, or IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.

📊

Venue FPI Card

Every troubled pub's detail page shows its FPI score, severity label, and how much business rates changed vs 2023. Fully attributed to the original data sources.

🔍

Filter & Sort

Toggle Troubled Pub Mode in Settings → Pub Culture to show only at-risk pubs in your area.

Why it matters

The 2023 revaluation of business rates hit London pubs hard. Some saw increases of over 100%. The pubs that survive the next two years will be the ones that keep getting footfall.

PINtPOINT can't fix business rates. But it can put the right pub in front of the right person at the right time.
