Time to first published rating

77 days median · 140 days average
across 7,301 newly listed pubs and bars since 2022

Measured from a business appearing in the published FSA dataset to its first rating appearing there. Authorities publish with delays (appeal windows, batch updates), so this reflects the register's speed, not necessarily inspection speed.
