Evaluator Uses Form to Score Interaction
Best Practices for Evaluation Forms
| Practice |
Reason |
| Use fatal questions sparingly |
Prevent unnecessary evaluation failures |
| Reserve fatal for legal/compliance requirements |
Only true pass/fail scenarios should auto-fail |
| Use range questions for soft skills |
Better measuremeasures qualitative performance like empathy |
| Provide help text for every question |
Improves evaluator consistency and reduces subjectivity |
| Group questions logically by topic |
Makes evaluation easier to followcomplete accurately |
| Use conditional questions |
Reduces form complexity and irrelevant questions |
| Keep forms focused |
Forms covering too many topics are harder to score consistently |
| Calibrate evaluators regularly against published forms |
Ensures form is interpreted consistently |
