How we calculate Work Score.
Every WayWork space is scored out of 100 on what actually makes a place productive — not how luxurious it looks. Internet connectivity is the single non-negotiable, so it carries the most weight. A space with 500 Mbps fiber and a basic desk beats a luxury apartment on 10 Mbps WiFi, every time.
The weighting
100 points, weighted by what matters
Connectivity
40 pts · 40%Internet speed (download + upload), connection type, verified test, backup
Internet is the single non-negotiable. Nothing else compensates for bad connectivity.
Desk & Display
18 pts · 18%Dedicated desk, standing option, external monitor, big screen 60"+
A proper physical workspace prevents fatigue and enables multi-screen workflows.
Quiet & Focus
14 pts · 14%Private rooms, soundproofing, dedicated office or study space
Background noise on calls is unprofessional. A quiet space is a prerequisite for calls.
Meeting & AV
10 pts · 10%Conference table, whiteboard, webcam, HDMI cable, speaker
Team spaces need meeting infrastructure. Even solos need webcam and screen sharing.
Ergonomics
8 pts · 8%Ergonomic chair, adjustable desk, proper task lighting, footrest
Long work sessions require physical comfort. Cheap chairs cause injury over weeks.
Office Equipment
5 pts · 5%Printer, business TV with cable, UPS power backup, secure storage
Professional extras that signal a space built for serious business use.
View & Environment
5 pts · 5%The view from the workspace — mountains, water, city, garden, or courtyard
A good outlook reduces fatigue and makes long work sessions more relaxing.
Why internet is weighted at 40%
Connectivity is the only category that can't be compensated for. You can work from a kitchen table, but you can't take a client call on a connection that drops. Download speed (max 20), upload speed (max 10 — video calls are upload-bound), connection type, a verified speed test, and backup redundancy together make up 40 of the 100 points.

How a space earns 87
A space with fiber + ethernet + 500 Mbps download + a dedicated desk + external monitor + a quiet, private room scores 87 — squarely in the Excellent tier.
