83 of 100, ranked 4 of 14 people with a score, against a cohort median of 79. The bands are cut from this period's own distribution, not fixed thresholds: ≤ 73 is behind, ≥ 82 is leading, and this person is in the top 30% of people with a score this period. With every component at the cohort median this person would score 81; they score 83. That difference is carried by craft (73 against a cohort median of 98, worth -8.9 points). 2 of 6 components (completed work, review) could not be measured at all, so the remaining weights were rescaled — this score rests on 70% of the intended evidence.

A band compares this person to the 14 people who have a score in this window — nothing more. It is not a rating, it does not persist, and it moves when the cohort or the window moves.

Effect is a counterfactual, not a share: how many points this person’s score would move if that one component dropped to the cohort median for it. The effects sum to 83 − 81 = 2, where 81 is what this person would score with every one of their components at the cohort median. Negative rows are the reason the total sits where it does. A component with no data is withheld and the remaining weights are rescaled — it is never scored as zero, and it never counts against anyone.

Measured but deliberately not scored: 49.8 hours tracked, 96 commits, 85,735 lines changed, 29.7% activity, first-pass CI 22.2%. The first four measure motion rather than delivery and are trivially inflated. CI is excluded because it exists on a minority of repositories, so scoring it would rank people by which repository they work in. This score cannot see architecture, planning, mentoring, incident response or infrastructure work at all.

CloudTrail records the API call, not the intent. It cannot tell a considered change from one corrected a minute later, and it retains 90 days — so an empty earlier period means “not retained”, never “nothing happened”.
