Is this a verification certificate?
No. ScoreBee produces a planning estimate. It helps your team understand likely pathways, score pressure, and evidence gaps. It does not replace a SANAS-accredited verification process or legal advice.
FAQ
B-BBEE calculator questions that actually matter
Why does the calculator ask for turnover first?
Turnover shapes the enterprise class. The enterprise class controls whether the estimate can use shortcut logic or needs fuller scorecard inputs. That branch should happen before deeper data entry.
Can I change the thresholds or rules date?
Yes. The calculator shows the active ruleset profile, the as-of date, and the source link. If your adviser works from a different current interpretation or date-stamped assumption set, you can review those values in the assumptions panel.
What does procurement recognition mean here?
The tool maps the estimated level to the recognition percentage listed in the chosen profile. It is shown as a planning output only so procurement and supplier-enablement teams can talk about likely impact before verification is complete.
Why do I still need evidence after I get a score?
Because the estimate reflects entered data and stated assumptions. Ownership structures, payroll, training spend, enterprise-development spend, and beneficiary evidence still need to stand up to verification review.
Does the estimate cover sector-code edge cases?
Not in this first profile. The tool currently focuses on a generic estimator path and tells users that sector-specific codes may require adjusted interpretation. That boundary is shown directly in the workflow and methodology copy.
What should I do if the calculator flags a discount risk?
Treat the warning as a planning signal. Review the affected priority element first, confirm the data that fed the estimate, and gather the evidence a verifier would expect before relying on the score in an external conversation.
Can consultants use this for scenario planning?
Yes. The calculator is intentionally structured for client workshops. You can test assumptions, see how level bands move, and use the evidence checklist to prepare a more disciplined follow-up conversation.
