Score Calculation

1

Individual Category Scores

Each poll response is converted to a score (0-100). Multiple responses are averaged.

2

Composite Score

The 6 category scores are averaged equally to produce one composite score.

3

Tier Assignment

Composite score + reference count determines your OfficeCred tier (Gold, Silver, Bronze).

Your Privacy is Sacred

Truly Anonymous

We never store any link between your identity and your poll responses. Not even we can trace them back to you.

Minimum Threshold

Scores are only displayed after a minimum number of responses to prevent identification through elimination.

No Individual Responses

Only aggregated scores are shown. Individual poll responses are never revealed to anyone.

Verified Colleagues

Future: Responses from verified colleagues (same company) may carry more weight for additional credibility.
