🎯 Why This Matters

Strength Score helps encourage thoughtful, complete workflow submissions. When used appropriately, it improves data quality and reduces rushed or incomplete responses.


📝 What Strength Score Measures

Strength Score is a quality indicator that reflects how thoroughly a workflow was completed, not whether answers were “right” or “wrong.”

It is designed to:

  • Discourage rushing through workflows

  • Encourage photos, text, and follow-up actions

  • Promote consistent effort across users

Strength Score focuses on behavior, not judgment.


🛠️ When Strength Score Adds Value

Strength Score is most useful when:

  • Workflows require careful observation or inspection

  • Quality of input matters as much as completion

  • There’s a risk of users rushing just to finish

In these cases, Strength Score helps reinforce expectations without adding manual review.


⚠️ When Strength Score May Not Be Needed

Strength Score may not be appropriate when:

  • Workflows are short or informational

  • The goal is awareness, not evaluation

  • Narrative input is more important than completeness

  • Users are still learning a new process

Overusing Strength Score can create unnecessary friction.


What Good Looks Like

When Strength Score is working well:

  • Users understand what “good completion” looks like

  • Scores feel fair and achievable

  • Data quality improves without slowing adoption

If users are confused or frustrated by scores, it’s time to revisit the approach.


🔑 Key Takeaways

  • Strength Score encourages quality, not correctness

  • Use it where thoughtful completion matters

  • Avoid using it on every workflow by default
