Recommendation Logic

How Advance, Hold, and Decline recommendations are determined.

Current Logic

The recommendation is determined by the weighted score against two configurable thresholds:

ConditionResult
weighted_score >= advance_thresholdAdvance
weighted_score >= hold_thresholdHold
weighted_score < hold_thresholdDecline

Default Thresholds

  • Advance threshold: 3.5 (configurable via scorer rubric)
  • Hold threshold: 2.5 (configurable via scorer rubric)

Adjusting Thresholds

Edit via /admin/rubrics → Advance Threshold and Hold Threshold fields (number steppers).

Considerations:

  • Higher advance threshold = fewer candidates recommended → more selective
  • Lower advance threshold = more candidates recommended → less selective
  • The gap between hold and advance defines the "Hold" zone
  • Setting advance = hold eliminates the Hold category entirely

Red Flag Override

If the scorer flags a response for review (adverse impact guidance, coached response), the recommendation field may be set to "REVIEW" regardless of score. This is determined by the adverse_impact_guidance and coached_response_flag rubric fields.
