Score Calculation

How the weighted overall score is calculated from individual competency scores.

Per-Competency Scoring

The scorer evaluates each competency independently:

  1. Reads the transcript
  2. Matches candidate responses to the competency's 5-level behavioral anchors
  3. Assigns a score (1-5) with supporting evidence

Weighted Overall Score

weighted_score = Σ (competency_score × competency_weight) / Σ (competency_weights)

Example with 3 competencies:

  • Problem Solving: score 4, weight 0.4 → 1.6
  • Communication: score 3, weight 0.3 → 0.9
  • Ownership: score 5, weight 0.3 → 1.5
  • Weighted score: 4.0

The weighted score is recalculated server-side — the AI's self-reported weighted_score is overwritten to prevent manipulation.

Integrity Deductions

If integrity flags were recorded, deductions are applied based on the configured weights per flag type. The integrity-adjusted score is displayed alongside the raw score.

Score Reliability

Current limitations:

  • Single-rater reliability only (one AI scorer run per interview)
  • No test-retest reliability data yet (planned in Phase 13)
  • No inter-rater agreement data (would require human scorer comparison)

These are gaps that validity data collection (Phase 13) will begin to address.
