Understanding your culture score

What the 0–100 score is built from, what it means, and how to move it.

Your culture score is a single composite metric that reflects the overall health of your pack across all five Wolf Logic pillars. It refreshes daily.

How it's calculated

The score is weighted across five inputs: check-in participation rate (highest weight), pillar scores across Den/Howl/Pack/Hunt/Move As One, recognition volume (recognitions sent per active member per week), challenge completion rate, and pulse response rate.

What the bands mean

  • 80+ — Exceptional. Genuinely rare and reflects deep, consistent engagement.
  • 65–79 — Healthy. Solid foundation, room to grow.
  • 50–64 — Mixed. Some pillars working, others not. Worth investigating which.
  • Below 50 — Stretched. The pack needs care. Start with a pulse on the lowest pillar.

How to move it

The most reliable lever is check-in participation. A pack where 80% of members check in daily will almost always score above 65. Everything else follows from the habit.

Secondary levers (in order of impact): recognition culture (leaders send first, pack follows), Wolf Mode consistency (weekly pillar focus drives challenge completions), and pulse frequency (regular pulses show the team you're listening).

What it's not

The culture score is not a performance metric or something to optimise for its own sake. It's a lagging indicator of the habits the platform is designed to build. Chase the habits; the score follows.

Top tips

Make the most of this feature

  1. 1

    Track the culture score week over week, not day to day — daily variance is normal.

  2. 2

    If your score drops >5 points in a week, look at check-in participation first — that's almost always the driver.

  3. 3

    Share the culture score in your all-hands. Transparency about where the team sits tends to lift engagement.
