Use an append-only merit ledger where each scorable signal records source, source reference, occurrence date, points, multiplier, scorer and rationale.
Ledger fields
A score nobody can explain is a score nobody trusts. Every signal writes one dated row carrying its source, its points and its reason — and when something has to be undone, the reversal is another row, not an erasure.
Every row keeps the employee, the timestamp and the source record it came from, so any number on a scoreboard can be traced back to the thing that caused it.
| Source | Reason | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Merged PR | operentra/app #412 · difficulty 1.4× | +8.0 |
| Daily report | Filed on time · verdict ok | +5.0 |
| Missed report | Working day, nothing submitted | −5.0 |
| Reversal | Report filed within the backfill window | +5.0 |
| Running total | 13.0 | |
Every view stays structured and reviewable — nothing hides behind a tab.
Evidence identifies whether it came from a task, daily report, GitHub, WHMCS, loyalty or manual input; attendance is computed live at scoring time rather than stored as ledger rows.
Earned and total points keep quality and volume calculations transparent.
Recurring signal imports are screened against the source reference before booking, keeping the ledger clean.
Managers and admins can inspect evidence behind the scoreboard.
Use an append-only merit ledger where each scorable signal records source, source reference, occurrence date, points, multiplier, scorer and rationale.
Each evidence row points back to the originating task, report or integration event.
Total points, earned points and multipliers explain how the score was produced.
AI, manager or system scoring records the reasoning wherever a judgment was made.
Performance evidence is preserved instead of overwritten.
Tasks, reports and integrations share one scoring ledger, with attendance blended in live at score time.
Missed reports or recurring tasks can book penalty points.
Work assigned and completed on a non-working day earns its multiplier automatically — and the multiplier never amplifies a penalty.
Corrections are made with reversal rows that reference the original entry, so the ledger stays append-only.
Evidence can roll up over any selected period.
It makes the performance score traceable and defensible.
Yes. Missed daily reports and missed recurring tasks can book penalties.
Yes. Source and sourceRef connect the score to the originating work.
