AI STRATEGY

Establish AI Quality Standards

Prioritize What Matters with a Scoring System

Not all metrics matter equally. Weighted scorecards let you focus on the quality dimensions most important to your business goals, producing a reliable overall performance score.

Why it's Important
  • Ensures efforts go to the most impactful areas

  • Balances tradeoffs between conflicting dimensions (e.g., creativity vs. accuracy)

  • Enables benchmarking and model comparison

  • Simplifies executive reporting

  • Supports responsible experimentation by measuring risk

How to Implement
  • Assign a weight (e.g., % out of 100) to each quality dimension

  • Use product objectives to prioritize (e.g., fairness = 40% in EdTech)

  • Create a scoring template

  • Add example outputs with overall quality calculations

  • Calibrate scoring via multiple reviewers

  • Pilot test across diverse user flows

  • Version your weights and document rationale

Available Workshops
  • Priority Ranking Workshop (team votes on importance)

  • Scoring Simulation Lab

  • Risk Impact Matrix (Quality vs. Impact)

  • Leadership Alignment Session

  • Quality KPI Mapping Exercise

  • Internal Scorecard Bake-off

Deliverables
  • Weighted scoring matrix

  • Scoring rubric and calculator template

  • Internal calibration documentation

  • Sample scored outputs for training

  • Version history log

How to Measure
  • Reviewer consistency across scoring sessions

  • Stakeholder alignment score (e.g., pre/post voting delta)

  • Time-to-score per output

  • Number of disagreements requiring arbitration

  • Performance delta between AI model versions

  • Scorecard coverage across scenarios

  • Uptake of scorecard in product reviews

Pro Tips
  • Automate calculations with conditional logic in your scorecard

  • Use traffic light visuals for quick insights

  • Include a “confidence” field per score

  • Let reviewers flag “ambiguous” cases for discussion

  • Use scores as part of sprint retrospectives

Get It Right
  • Keep weights simple at first (3–5 categories)

  • Revisit weights quarterly

  • Align scoring system with product strategy docs

  • Train at least 2 reviewers per team

  • Use outputs that reflect high-risk and high-volume cases

Don't Make These Mistakes
  • Overcomplicating scorecards with too many dimensions

  • Ignoring reviewer fatigue or bias

  • Skipping cross-functional input on weights

  • Forgetting to version or document scoring criteria

  • Assuming weights are “one-size-fits-all” across use cases
