What is Scale Center?

Scale Center is Salesforce's built-in performance diagnostic tool, available at no additional cost for Unlimited Edition production orgs, Full Copy sandboxes, and Signature Success Plan customers.

It surfaces performance hotspots through six counters (logins, concurrent errors, row locks, callouts) and seven charts covering request time, CPU time, request volume, and callout latency over rolling 7- or 30-day windows.

Find it in your org: Setup → search “Scale Center” → enable → wait ~2 hours for initial data population.

How the analysis works

Upload a Scale Center screenshot. OrgPulse processes it in two modes:

Basic Mode (free): In-browser OCR extracts the six counter values using Tesseract.js. Nothing leaves your device.

Deep Analysis (~$0.02): Claude Vision interprets chart patterns — spike detection, correlation analysis, AI insights. Uses your own Anthropic API key (BYOK), direct browser-to-API. OrgPulse never sees your screenshots or your key.

Both modes feed into a severity scoring engine that maps detected signals to the matrix below.

The prioritization matrix

Every finding is mapped to one of nine cells on a 2D matrix: performance impact (vertical axis) versus implementation effort (horizontal axis).

High-impact, low-effort issues land in Quick Wins. High-impact, high-effort issues go to Strategic. Low-impact, high-effort items are consciously declined in Skip.

Each cell shows a severity score based on the strength and number of matching signals. The Priority Ranking above the matrix lists cells sorted by score — so you always see the most urgent work first.
