What gets scored in every session
Specific, sentence-level feedback.
| Dimension | What it measures | How to answer |
|---|---|---|
| Model Rigor | Was your model structured correctly? We probe for driver identification, assumption clarity, and scenario analysis, not just output accuracy. | Assumption transparency, key driver naming |
| Assumption Clarity | Can you name and defend your key assumptions? We flag answers where assumptions are implicit or generic rather than explicitly stated. | Explicit assumption naming, source or rationale |
| Business Judgment | Did your analysis lead to a clear recommendation? 'Here's what the model shows' is a weak ending. We score whether you took a position. | Recommendation presence, business framing |
| Impact Quantification | What did the analysis change? We look for a downstream business outcome, a decision made, a project stopped, costs saved. | Decision impact, $ or % savings, outcome specificity |
