Scoring ranges, weights & final grades
Put different business metrics into a common scoring framework.
Define what each result means for your business, then review the scores across categories and months.
-
Set three scoring ranges
Enter the ranges that assign a KPI a monthly score of 1, 2, or 3. These thresholds let you evaluate results against the ranges you choose.
-
Define what the colors mean
Configure conditional formatting for the metric. A score of 1 can represent a favorable or unfavorable result: low churn or low expenses may be desirable, while low revenue may not be.
-
Assign category weights
Set category weights from 0 to 50. The template uses the weighting setup to calculate a category weighted average score on a 0-to-3 scale.
-
Review the final grade
The weighted average score is used to produce a final grade from 1 to 10. Review the category results alongside the overall company scores.
Monthly detail & annual overview
Review individual categories and the business as a whole.
Use the scorecard for financial measures as well as HR, logistics, conversion metrics, and other operational categories.

Review category performance across a full 12-month view, with an annual total alongside the monthly detail.
Overall monthly company score

Red, yellow & green formatting update

The color formatting communicates performance at a glance: red for poor results, yellow for fair results, and green for good results. Set the formatting to reflect whether higher or lower values are favorable for each metric.

Questions before you start
A few useful details.
What period does the scorecard cover?
It provides a 12-month view and an annual total, with monthly company scores, an annual company score, and annual scores for each category.
Is this only for financial KPIs?
No. You can use it for HR, logistics, conversion metrics, financial measures, and other business performance categories.
How are the monthly KPI scores assigned?
You define three value ranges that assign a monthly score of 1, 2, or 3. The score depends on the range in which the KPI's result falls.
