ScorecardsBuilding a scorecardReference
Grades and bands
The letter grade each score range gets, and how grades are given and shown.
Every score from 0 to 100 also carries a letter grade, read from these bands:
| Grade | Score |
|---|---|
| A | 90 and above |
| B | 80 – 89 |
| C | 70 – 79 |
| D | 60 – 69 |
| F | 0 – 59 |
How grades are given#
- From the score as shown. A score is rounded to one decimal place, and the grade is read from that rounded score.
- Always with the bands beside it. Wherever a scorecard shows grades — the results, the Rules step's comparison and widgets — it writes the bands out ("Grades: A 90 or more · B 80 or more · C 70 or more · D 60 or more · F below 60"), so a "C" never appears without its range.
- Never without a score. A member with an insufficient record has no score, so no grade. They're never given an F for a record too thin to measure.
- The same on every scorecard. The scorecard builder doesn't offer bands of its own; every scorecard uses the ones above.
Using grades#
On a scorecard's results, the Grade filter narrows the legislators to the grades you pick, with Insufficient record as a choice of its own. See Display options.
With five or more legislators scored, the Review step flags a scorecard that may not tell them apart — when every score falls within 10 points, or when 90% or more of them get the same grade. See Reviewing before you save.
