- The FAQ explains South Carolina’s 100-point inspection scale, including the stated cutoffs for A, B, and C grades.
Field notes
The site describes a records-based workflow that watches business filings and buildout permits for early signs, then follows businesses through opening inspections and later changes. Its FAQ gives the stated South Carolina grade thresholds—A at 88 or higher, B at 78–87, and C at 77 or below—and notes that repeat or serious violations can affect a posted grade. The coverage also reaches beyond food businesses to gyms, salons, barbershops, and shops.
