Calculating mastery
A person’s profile shows where they stand on each skill. This page explains how those scores — and the mastered status — are worked out.
How scoring works
Section titled “How scoring works”Every observation records a score for one skill on a 0–100 scale, derived from the skill’s assessment type — a yes/no, a rating, or a set of trials all resolve to a score. A skill’s standing on the profile is built from its recent observations, so the picture reflects current, demonstrated ability rather than a single old result.
What “mastered” means
Section titled “What “mastered” means”Each skill defines a mastery bar with two parts:
- a score threshold (0–100) the person needs to reach, and
- optionally, a number of consecutive sessions at or above that threshold.
A skill is marked mastered once recent observations meet its threshold (and clear the consecutive-session requirement, if one is set). Requiring consecutive sessions makes mastery reflect consistency rather than a lucky one-off.
Assumed mastery
Section titled “Assumed mastery”Sometimes a person clearly already has a skill, and you don’t want it showing as a gap from day one. You can mark a skill as assumed mastered for that person — stating you assume mastery without a recorded session. It’s useful when:
- you’re onboarding someone you already know is proficient, or
- the skill was demonstrated outside a Meeting — for example during an interview.
