About

Combat performance, verified.

Cadence is an engagement-intelligence platform for World of Warcraft. We measure the work that doesn’t show up on a damage meter, and we don’t trust a number until other players agree on it.

Engagement over throughput

A score isn’t one number on a meter. Cadence weighs five dimensions — output, efficiency, engagement, utility, and confidence — so the player who interrupts, dispels, and survives gets credit for the work that doesn’t show up on Recount.

Trust is earned, not claimed

Every encounter starts unverified. Blizzard’s API confirms it happened. Other players’ addons confirm the numbers. Confidence climbs only when independent sources agree — a single reporter never speaks for a pull.

Show your work

No hidden weights, no laundered metrics. Pipeline state, sample size, and corroboration tier are visible on every row. If a score is preliminary, it says so. If it’s disputed, it says so.

How a score earns trust

  1. 01StagedEncounter received

    Addon submitted a corroborating QR. Format and ranges pass; nothing has been verified yet.

  2. 02ValidatedConfirmed by Blizzard API

    Blizzard confirms the encounter happened to the claimed roster at the claimed time. Metrics still unverified.

  3. 03CorroboratedMulti-source agreement

    Two or more reporters’ numbers line up. Score lands on leaderboards and starts climbing the confidence tiers.

Confidence tiers (Unverified → Low → Medium → High → Authoritative) sharpen as more independent reporters submit the same pull. Disputed pulls are quarantined, not deleted.

What Cadence isn’t

We don’t parse combat logs. We don’t scrape your guild’s Discord. We don’t accept self-uploaded numbers. The only path data takes into Cadence is through the addon, scanned in-game by another player, and then re-confirmed against Blizzard’s own roster API. If nobody else was there to corroborate the pull, it doesn’t affect anyone’s ranking.

We don’t rank you against everyone. We rank you against your spec, on this encounter, this season — the only comparison that means anything.

Cadence Plus

Personal coaching, rotation diffs, spec-percentile rankings, PvP climb tracking, and rival boards — built on the same corroborated data, surfaced for the player whose character it is.

Early access

Cadence is in early access. Coverage and confidence climb as more players run the addon — every scan tightens the cohort for every other player on that encounter.
