Capacity assessments - Product News

What's new

• Capacity templates. Mark an Assessment template as a Capacity assessment and give it a divergence threshold (20 % of a question's highest score by default) and rating bands on the total, such as Developing, Established and Strong. A capacity template is never offered to an assessment round. See Capacity assessments.
• A Capacity tab on each organisation. An applicant registered as an organisation lists its capacity assessments with their rating. Start capacity assessment names the template, a staff scorer and the portfolio lead, two different people, and each gets a task in My Tasks.
• Blind scoring. Each scorer scores alone and can't see the other's scores, notes or total until both have submitted. Submitted scores are final.
• Divergence flags. Once both are in, the scores sit side by side and each question where they differ by more than the threshold is flagged Divergent.
• Reconcile into a rating. The portfolio lead, or an administrator who manages assessments, records the agreed score for each question, with a reason wherever the scores diverged. Backed totals them and gives the rating. A reconciled assessment is read-only, with both sets of scores, the reasons and a trail of who did each step and when.
