Definition
The resume example asks four Score questions in one parallel request: Python depth, team leadership, system design, and generalist, each with five levels. Each score is normalized by dividing by len(criteria) - 1 before weighting.
Senior IC weights are 40% Python, 10% leadership, 40% design, 10% generalist; engineering manager weights are 15/40/20/25. The weights are policy, not model output, so they get revisited whenever the role or the cost of a bad hire changes.

Break a judgment into atomic Score questions, normalize each by its top level, and combine them with weights you control in code, as in the resume example's four scored dimensions.
