Evaluation Framework

Overview

A generic framework for weighted scoring and threshold-based decision making. Provides reusable patterns for evaluating any artifact against configurable criteria with consistent scoring methodology.

This framework abstracts the common pattern of: define criteria → assign weights → score against criteria → apply thresholds → make decisions.

When To Use

• Implementing quality gates or evaluation rubrics
• Building scoring systems for artifacts, proposals, or submissions
• Need consistent evaluation methodology across different domains
• Want threshold-based automated decision making
• Creating assessment tools with weighted criteria

When NOT To Use

• Simple pass/fail without scoring needs

Core Pattern

1. Define Criteria

criteria:
  - name: criterion_name
    weight: 0.30          # 30% of total score
