📊 Instructions for Using the Scorecard in Oversai

The Scorecard is an evaluation tool that allows you to assess agent performance based on a defined score goal.

  • If the evaluated person meets or exceeds this goal → they are marked as "Passed" ✅

  • If they don't reach it → they are marked as "Failed" ❌

  • If the Scorecard has no score goal, the evaluation shows a score but no Passed / Failed result.


🧩 SCORECARD STRUCTURE

1. Sections and questions

  • The Scorecard is organized into sections.

  • Each section is broken down into evaluation questions.

2. Section weights

  • Each section has a percentage weight.

  • The total of all section weights must add up to 100%.

  • The weight of each section is defined manually.

3. Questions and scoring

There are two kinds of questions:

  • Multiple choice → each option has its own points. The question is worth the points of its highest-scoring option, and the agent earns the points of the option selected.

  • Rating → the question is worth the top of its scale (for example 5 on a 1–5 scale), and the agent earns the rating given.

The maximum score of a section is the sum of the maximum scores of its questions.

4. Question option types

  • Default → Adds only the indicated points.

  • Fail section → If selected, the entire section is scored with 0 points, regardless of the other answers.

  • Fail all → If selected, the overall Scorecard score is automatically set to 0, regardless of the other answers.

  • N/A (Not Applicable) → An option without points. It excludes the question from the calculation: its points are removed from the total available, and the section score is calculated with the applicable questions only.


🧮 FINAL SCORE CALCULATION

Each section gets a score from 0% to 100%:

Section score = (points earned / points available) × 100

The final score is the sum of each section score multiplied by its weight.

🔹 Example 1: Step-by-step

  1. A section has a maximum of 10 points.

  2. The agent earns 5 points.

    Section calculation: (5 / 10) × 100 = 50% 3. If that section is weighted at 40%, then: 50% × 40% = 20 points 4. Repeat the calculation for each section. 5. The final Scorecard score is the sum of all section results.

🔹 Example 2: Step-by-step (with some N/A within a section)

  1. A section has a maximum of 20 points, distributed across 2 questions (10 points each).

  2. One question is marked as N/A, and the other is answered correctly.

    Adjusted calculation: - Question 1: N/A → excluded from the calculation - Question 2: 10 / 10 points

    Adjusted total possible points: 10 3. Section calculation: (10 / 10) × 100 = 100% 4. If that section is weighted at 25%, then: 100% × 25% = 25 points 5. This means the section contributes 25 points to the final Scorecard score.

Important: When a question is marked as N/A, its points are removed from the total available points, and the section score is recalculated proportionally using only the applicable questions.

🔹 Example 3: Step-by-step (with all questions marked as N/A within a section)

When every question in a section is marked as N/A, there is nothing to evaluate in that section. The section has no score and is left out of the final score: its weight is shared among the other sections, in proportion to their own weights.

  1. A Scorecard has three sections:

    Section

    Weight

    Result

    A

    40%

    5 / 10 points → 50%

    B

    40%

    10 / 10 points → 100%

    C

    20%

    All questions N/A → no score

  2. Section C is left out, so the applicable sections (A and B) now add up to 80% of weight. Each one's weight is scaled up so they add up to 100% again:

    • Section A: 40% / 80% → counts as 50%

    • Section B: 40% / 80% → counts as 50%

  3. Section results:

    • Section A: 50% × 50% = 25 points

    • Section B: 100% × 50% = 50 points

  4. Final score: 25 + 50 = 75%

Important: A section where every question is N/A does not count as 100% — it does not count at all. The final score reflects only the sections that applied to the interaction.

🔹 Example 4: Fail section and Fail all

  • Fail section: in Example 3, if a Fail section option had been selected in Section B, Section B would score 0% even with every other answer correct. Final score: 25 + 0 = 25%.

  • Fail all: if a Fail all option is selected in any section, the final score is 0%, whatever the other answers are.

🔹 When every question is N/A

An evaluation must have at least one question that applies. If every question of every section is marked as N/A, the evaluation cannot be completed — answer at least one question, or skip the interaction.

🔹 Non-scored evaluations

A non-scored evaluation records the answers and feedback, but gives no score to the questions, the sections or the evaluation, and no Passed / Failed result.


🏆 EXAMPLE OUTCOME

  • Agent's final score: 90%

  • Defined score goal: 80%

  • Since the agent meets or exceeds the goal → Result: "Passed" ✅


✨ BENEFITS OF USING SCORECARDS IN OVERSAI

  • Objective and consistent evaluations.

  • Flexibility to adapt the structure and weights according to your policies.

  • Ability to include critical criteria (Fail section, Fail all).

  • Fair scores when parts of the Scorecard don't apply: N/A questions and sections never inflate or lower the result.

  • Clear visibility of agent performance with simple, transparent metrics.
