Pattern: Composite Scoring

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.

Highlights

  • Resume screening asks four Score questions in one parallel request, each with five levels.
  • Normalize each score by dividing by len(criteria) - 1 before weighting.
  • Senior IC weights: 40% Python, 10% leadership, 40% design, 10% generalist.
  • Engineering manager weights: 15% Python, 40% leadership, 20% design, 25% generalist.

Quickstart

python
py      = response.answers["python_depth"].score / 4
lead    = response.answers["team_leadership"].score / 4
arch    = response.answers["system_design"].score / 4
general = response.answers["generalist"].score / 4

# Senior IC
ic_score = (0.40 * py) + (0.10 * lead) + (0.40 * arch) + (0.10 * general)

# Engineering Manager
em_score = (0.15 * py) + (0.40 * lead) + (0.20 * arch) + (0.25 * general)

Watch out

The weights are policy, not model output, so revisit them whenever the role or the cost of a bad hire changes.
