Frequently asked questions
What you need to know
Why can a criterion be marked N/A?
A criterion may be unobservable or irrelevant in a particular conversation. N/A avoids an artificial penalty.
Can a rubric change without losing history?
Yes. Versioning identifies which rubric was used for each analysis.
Is a score enough to evaluate a sales representative?
No. It is a review signal that should be considered with evidence, context, sample size and managerial judgment.
