A property scoring app that turns viewings into a ranking
Gut feel doesn't survive a fourth inspection. Groundwork gives every place a score, built from your own categories, deal-breakers, a location rating and a gut-feel number, then ranks them, so the standouts are obvious instead of argued over.
You decide what a good score means
There's no fixed checklist baked in. Set the categories you care about, like light, layout, the quiet street and the commute, give each a weight, and add the deal-breakers that should pull a score down. Every place is then scored the same honest way, every time.
One comparable number per home
Categories, deal-breakers, location and gut feel roll into a single score for each property. That's the number you rank on, and because it's built from explicit criteria, you can see exactly why one place beats another instead of relitigating it.
Score per dollar, not just per home
Flip to the value-for-money view and Groundwork ranks by score per $100k of price (buying) or per $100 of weekly rent (renting). The flashy listing and the quiet bargain both get a fair hearing.

Common questions
How is each property scored?
You decide. Set your own categories, points and deal-breakers, add a location rating and a gut-feel score, and Groundwork rolls it into one comparable number for every place.
How is this better than a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet can't score, rank or stay in sync for two people at once. Groundwork does the maths, ranks by score or value-for-money automatically, and updates live for everyone on the hunt, right there on the phone you're holding at the inspection.
Is Groundwork free?
Yes. Groundwork is free for buyers and renters, with no per-property or per-hunt charges. You can start scoring straight away without even creating an account.
Can my partner or housemates use it with me?
That's the whole idea. Invite anyone you're searching with by email and you all score the same shared shortlist, with no more scattered group chats and half-remembered favourites.
