Quick answer

Handling Score weights needs a supported browser/app, enough disk/memory and a valid input file. Weights determine what agents optimize; do not make every item equal.

Why it matters

Missing any condition can turn an environment issue into a false file-corruption diagnosis.

Compliance/privacy/safety should be veto or high weight.

Step by step

  1. Define QA goals and observable behaviors before building a giant scorecard.
  2. Stratify samples by shift, channel and risk so they represent real problems.
  3. Calibrate scoring boundaries before ranking or performance decisions.
  4. Attribute issues to knowledge, process, system or people before choosing fixes.

Common mistakes

  • Scoring without calibration makes managers incomparable.
  • Sampling only easy tickets biases the result.
  • Using QA as punishment makes agents hide context.
  • Looking only at CSAT while ignoring resolution and rework.

Checklist

  • Scorecard has behavioral anchors.
  • Sampling has stratification rules.
  • Calibration records disputed samples.
  • Issues have owners and review dates.

Key facts

  • Compliance/privacy/safety should be veto or high weight.
  • Resolution quality outranks script fluency.
  • Review weights quarterly so they do not go stale.
