How the recognition score is calculated
A breakdown of all seven scoring dimensions, their weights, and what each one measures.
Every user on the leaderboard has a composite score from 0–100 built from seven dimensions. Each dimension is normalised to 0–100 before weighting. You can see the full breakdown at any time by clicking the ⓘ button on the Leaderboard page.
The seven dimensions
- Business Impact (35%): a Phase 1 evidence proxy. Scores result presence in your report (45% of the sub-score), text specificity of reported outcomes (30%), and strategic signal richness (25%). A 120-character result statement approximates a specific, quantified outcome. Phase 2 will replace this with AI-graded analysis of what you actually wrote.
- Goal Execution (20%): the percentage of next-week priorities that were fresh commitments rather than carried forward from a prior week. A high score means you set commitments and delivered on them. If no priorities were set, a neutral 50 is applied.
- Accountability (15%): carry-over resolution rate, with an aging penalty. Each carry-over item unresolved for three or more consecutive weeks deducts 5 points, capped at −20. Chronic blockers hurt more than recently opened ones.
- Report Quality (10%): the percentage of reports that include substantive content across all key fields. Reports that leave Results, Signals, or Priorities empty score lower.
- Timeliness & Consistency (10%): combines submission rate (60%) and on-time rate (40%). Consistently late submitters are penalised even if they never miss a week entirely.
- Management Assessment (5%): the average manager feedback rating across the period, normalised from the 1–5 scale to 0–100. If no feedback has been submitted, this component scores 0. At 5% weight the impact on your composite is modest.
- Self-Assessment (5%): the average of your five weekly self-score dimensions (Delivery Impact, Signal Awareness, Blocker Responsiveness, Proactive Improvement, Ownership Energy), normalised to 0–100. Only weeks where you submitted self-scores are included.
How the composite is computed
Each dimension produces a 0–100 value. The composite is the weighted sum, rounded to one decimal place. Missing data (no manager feedback, no self-scores) counts as 0 for that component only.
Improving your score
- Submit before your office deadline every week — consistency and timeliness together account for 10%.
- Write specific, quantified results. Business Impact at 35% is the biggest single lever.
- Keep priorities fresh. Carrying the same items forward week after week lowers Goal Execution.
- Resolve blockers quickly. Aging carry-overs trigger the accountability penalty.
- Fill in every section of your report. Empty fields lower Report Quality.
Users with zero submissions in a period are excluded from the leaderboard entirely. Even a single submission puts you on the board.
