What "quality signals" means here
Quality signals are the facts a camp publishes that help you judge it before you travel. They are not a score of how good the camp is. We have not trained at, visited or inspected the camps in our data, and we publish no star ratings or customer reviews yet. What we do publish is what a camp says about itself, with the source and the date we checked it.
The signals, what each tells you and what it does not
| Signal | What it tells you | What it does not tell you | Where to see it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atlas facts score ("Score X/100 on N verified criteria") | How many of our checked facts a camp publishes (timetable, beginner classes, fight team, accreditation, years operating and so on). | How good the coaching is, how safe the sessions are, or whether the camp suits you. A camp with little published scores low even if it is excellent. | Every camp page |
| Timetable published | The camp shows when sessions run. 22 of 90 Thai camps in our data. | Whether sessions run as published. | Camp page: Schedule |

How the Atlas facts score works
The "Score X/100 on N verified criteria" on a camp page counts how many of our criteria the camp publishes facts for. It rewards completeness: a camp that publishes a timetable, beginner classes, a fight team and years of operation scores higher than one that publishes less. It is not a quality rating, and we do not show it as a star rating. Rankings use editorial rules on top of that data: see how we rank.
Honest limits
- Most facts come from camps' own websites and a few directories. Camps can be out of date or optimistic.
- Class size is stated by 1 of 90 Thai camps in our data and coach language by 2. We cannot tell you either for the rest.
- We do not visit camps, test coaches or check injury records.
- We have no verified customer reviews on camp pages yet; empty review sections say "No rating yet".
- A signal marked "not stated" means we found no statement. It does not mean the camp lacks it.
How to use them
Use the signals to shortlist, then ask the camp the questions on our pre-booking checklist. For a region-level view of the signals, see the quality section on each region page: Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Koh Samui, Pattaya.

FAQs
Does the Atlas score measure how good a camp is?
No. It measures how many of our checked facts the camp publishes. It is not a quality rating.
Do you publish ratings or reviews of camps?
Not yet. Camp pages show "No rating yet" until we have verified reviews. We do not show star ratings.
