score · Integer from 0 to 100

Overall speaking score

A summary coaching judgment for the recorded answer. It compresses several delivery and scenario-fit signals into one readout value so the speaker can choose the next rehearsal priority.

How to use this signal

Use it as a session-level orientation, then open the component metrics and written fixes before changing the next take.

Four comparison checks

  1. Use the same scenario and a similar prompt.
  2. Keep recording duration reasonably comparable.
  3. Listen to both takes instead of choosing by score alone.
  4. Record the exact correction attempted between takes.

Local fallback contract

If AI analysis is unavailable, the local baseline weights clarity 22%, rhythm 16%, energy 14%, structure 20%, objection handling 13% and script fit 15%. AI-generated readouts are schema-bounded but are not required to reproduce that fallback formula exactly.
