Definition
A Score question takes an ordered array of level descriptions. The answer's score is each level's index multiplied by its probability, so it can land between levels: 0×0.0 + 1×0.57 + 2×0.43 = 1.43. The legend field maps level numbers back to their descriptions.
Levels are judged separately, so describing one level as worse than another adds no signal, and the model sees descriptions rather than numbers. Score fits a spectrum with described points (bug severity, frustration, skill level), and the arithmetic belongs in code.
