Calculate Score using metric based score instead of record based score In Acumen, you can select record-based scoring (activity, control account, or work package) or metric-based scoring. You make this selection in Acumen on the Deltek Acumen Options dialog box User Interface tab.

Record-based scoring calculates the score on a per-record basis and the final score is an average of the per-record scores. This places a premium on absolute compliance with the assigned metrics. The breach of any single metric on a task will prevent those tasks from receiving a "passing grade."

With metric-base scoring, Acumen calculates the score using an average of the metric scores. Metric-based scoring allows incremental improvements to tasks to be reflected in the overall score. The metric-based method typically produces higher scores, as a single task would need to fail in multiple areas simultaneously in order to receive a very low score.

Forensics

Field Description
Hide empty Forensic Analysis Hide Forensic Analysis fields that have no variance.

Scorecard
