Methodology Scoring

Configure scoring

Adjust weights, enable or disable elements and additional reads, reassign milestones between gates, and edit gate durations before scoring a transcript. Changes here are a working copy held in this browser tab — they do not modify the extracted rubric on disk.

Element weights

Set how much each element counts toward the weighted score, or turn one off to exclude it entirely. Turning an element off or back on rescales the remaining active elements so the total stays at 100%.

6 of 6 elements active.

Weight total: 100%

Additional reads

These reads give the manager extra context on rep behavior and deal qualification alongside the scorecard. They never affect the weighted score — turning one off simply hides it from the scorecard.

Rep behavior

ReadActiveGuidance
Discovery Depth
Discovery Calls slide (topics: Value Pyramid, Current State, Future State, Maturity Assessment, Path to Partnership, Key Team Map) and Example Discovery Questions slide's 'what to listen for' guidance
Value Proposition Delivery
Value Prop slide (Strategy for Everyone / Actionable and Measurable / Dynamic and Adaptive) and Demo Types slide distinguishing the 'canned' Value Demo from the Custom Demo talk track that focuses on the customer's needs and goals
Pricing Discipline
Pricing Rationale slide ('Avoid pricing discussions before we understand a business... push off pricing discussions, giving you time to learn more before putting a price tag out there') and Sales Flow / Sales Stages requirement that price be finalized at the ES Meeting / Go-No-Go stage (milestone 16, Exit SS4)

Deal qualification

ReadActiveGuidance
ICP Fit
ICP - Strategic Maturity slide's Level 1-5 fit ratings, combined with Example ICP - (Company) and Example ICP - Firmographic slides (employee size, industry, revenue, geography, organizational complexity)
Persona Fit
Buyer Personas & Pain Points slides (1) and (2), which assign an explicit Influence Level (Budget Owner & Champion, Budget Owner, Champion & Influencer, Influencer, Champion) to each persona
Purchasing Triggers
Key Purchasing Triggers slides (1) and (2), listing 8 triggers with 'why it matters' and 'how to identify it' guidance

Milestone assignment

Each milestone belongs to one gate in the stage-gate model. Reassign a milestone if it better reflects how your process actually works. Every gate must retain at least one milestone, so a gate's only remaining milestone cannot be moved.
