Likelihood and health scores
What thin, fair and strong mean, and why every score opens its reasons.
Likelihood is how likely a placement looks: a band — thin, fair or strong — with a score out of 100 beside it. The band leads because a bare number means nothing until you know the scale.
Press it
Every score opens the reasons behind it. A score nobody can interrogate is a number people learn to ignore, so nothing in MetaOpus asserts a judgement without showing its working.
Health is a different question
Health asks whether this submission is going wrong — quiet too long, a chase unanswered, a step overdue. A submission can look likely and be unhealthy at the same time; that combination is exactly the one worth a phone call.
Frequently asked
Why a band and a number?
Because a bare number means nothing until you know the scale. The band is the judgement; the score is there for comparing two submissions that are both called fair.
Can a submission be likely and unhealthy at once?
Yes, and that combination is the one worth a phone call: the role suits the person, and the process around it is going wrong.
What if I disagree with a score?
Press it. Every score opens the reasons behind it, so you can see which input you disagree with rather than dismissing the whole number.
