The FatCat score · marketplaces and apps
The marketing score for marketplaces and apps.
You connect two sides, or ship an app. We read your Instagram, your ad account and your listing, and score the constrained side you named against the side the evidence points at.
What we read
- Your Meta ad account: what was spent on which side, what it reached, and when it last ran.
- Your Instagram and Facebook Page: cadence, reach and what users say publicly.
- Your app store or web listing: what it claims and what it shows.
- Your answers on activation, zero-result searches and which side is constrained.
What the score settles
- 01Whether the side you call constrained is the side your spend goes to.
- 02Whether your activation rate is measured or asserted.
- 03What a zero-result search actually costs you.
What you get
A score out of 100 and the seven vitals under it: keystone, economics, retention, resilience, measurement, positioning and acquisition engine. The money leaking, priced from your own figures. Where what you told us and what we read disagree, the disagreement named, your words quoted exactly, and which side the evidence is on. Then a plan: what to do now, what next, what later, and the one number that will prove each move worked. Do what it says, come back, re-score.
Questions marketplaces and apps ask
- We are two-sided. Does the questionnaire understand that?
- It is built for it. It asks which side is constrained and how you know, what a new supply-side signup costs against a demand-side one, and it checks the answers against your ad account.
- How is the score calculated?
- By arithmetic, not by a model's opinion. Your answers and what we read from your accounts go into a fixed scoring law, so the same inputs always produce the same number. The writing around the score is AI-assisted; the score itself is not.
- What if I do not track something?
- Then say so. "I don't track this" is a first-class answer. The report lists it as unknown, tells you what knowing it would be worth, and names the number to start writing down.
