The Brokehella
Standard™

Eleven categories. You can measure every one. Every event gets graded on all of them. We post the grade even when we fail.

No one else in live events publishes standards like this

Why it exists

Every festival says it cares about safety and water. None of them will tell you the wait at a bathroom. A promise you cannot measure is just an ad.

How it is used

Every event gets graded on all eleven within 14 days. We post the whole scorecard. Misses too. Plus what we are fixing, and by when.

Who can use it

Anyone. The Standard is meant to be used, not owned. Grade your own event below. Then tell us what we got wrong.

Live scorecard

Grade an event.

Open a category. Drag the sliders to what really happened. Watch the grade move. This is the same test we run on ourselves.

A. Met or beat every target B. Close, one soft miss C, real gaps, published fix required D. Apology and refunds F. We do not run it again until it is fixed

We publish the misses too.

A standard you only cite when you pass is a trophy, not a standard.
