Every mark has a basis.
Four practical tasks account for 80 marks. A person reviews the written judgement for the remaining 20.
Candidate identity, speed and additional suggested time do not enter the score. Practical marks come from the task-specific calculation and decision rules. The written explanation is assessed against the anchors below.
Criterion-referenced · rubric 2026.1| Criterion | What is assessed | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity / time basis | Correct calculation using the supplied scope or programme. | 20 |
| Cost / change calculation | Correct arithmetic, units and stated cost basis. | 20 |
| Professional decision | A decision consistent with the supplied constraints. | 20 |
| Evidence selection | Select both applicable records and exclude the superseded record. | 20 |
| Written judgement | Human review of the reasoning, limitations and next action. | 20 |
Written judgement anchors
No relevant reasoning
No usable explanation of the result or recommendation.
States a conclusion
A relevant conclusion with little supporting evidence.
Explains the calculation
Connects the result to at least one relevant record but leaves a material gap.
Explains the decision
Uses the relevant records and explains an important assumption or limitation.
Complete and reviewable
Links the calculation, both relevant records, a material limitation and a proportionate next action.
Task variants & comparison
The values vary while the operations, source-record structure and scoring rules stay fixed. Each report records the variant and rubric version. Comparisons are limited to one assessment within a campaign.
These variants have not been statistically calibrated. We do not present scores as percentiles or claim that a threshold predicts job performance.
Useful, bounded evidence
The numerical tasks use a tolerance of 0.01 of the stated unit. Each objective task earns 20 marks when correct or 0 when incorrect; no hidden partial-credit rule is applied. The employer sees the actual response as well as the mark.
Reviewers record an explanation and cite the supporting record. Review changes remain in the activity trail. The assessment never makes an automatic hiring decision.
