| Positive rating | Neutral rating | Negative rating |
|---|---|---|
| Average rating ranges from 8-10 | Average rating ranges from 6-8 | Average rating ranges from 1 to 6 |
Example of how SCORE works?
Provider X has 5 projects that have received ratings from buyers. His score could be calculated as follows:
| Project # | Escrow amount ($) | Buyer’s Average ratings | Adjusted ratings |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | 3000 | 8.5 | positive |
| #2 | 5000 | 9.2 | positive |
| #3 | 1500 | 6.7 | neutral |
| #4 | 200 | 7.5 | neutral |
| #5 | 2000 | 5.5 | negative |
| Provider X’s SCORE | = Sum(3000+5000) – 1*(1500+200) – 2* 2000 = 2300 | ||
