Quality score formula

Quality score formula visualisation and interpretation

1. Account score limit

The highest possible score (100 by default). Can be set on this page: [Evaluation settings]

2. Mistake severity score

Score of mistake by its severity (for example, 1 point for minor and 5 points for major mistakes). Can be set on this page: [Mistake severities list]

3. Mistake type weight

Weight of a specific mistake type by specialization. Can be adjusted on this page [Mistake types list]

4. SUM

A sum of products of #2 and #3 for all the mistakes.

5. Project evaluation word count

Automatic word count: The value from the "Total source words" field. Please see the Automatic vs. manual word count page.

Manual word count: The value from the "Evaluated source words" field (specified when starting the evaluation with a manual word count).

6. 1000

In the end, the result is always converted to 1000, a most optimal value.

The mistake severity scores, mistake type weights, and reports are based on this 1000-word amount. For example, a critical mistake with score of 20 with weight coefficient of 1 reduces the quality score by 20 per 1000 words (by 10 per 2000 words, accordingly, and so on).
