Scoring

A score is a summary—not the explanation.

OETS scores should help compare evidence while keeping the facts, uncertainty, and reasoning visible.

25 points

Disclosure

Was important information available, visible, clear, timely, and consistent?

25 points

Representation

Did the overall presentation match what the person would actually receive?

20 points

Promise fulfilment

Were the promised value, access, support, and outcomes delivered?

15 points

Responsibility and remedy

Did the responsible party address mistakes, disputes, and preventable harm?

15 points

Fairness and power

Was stronger leverage used fairly, especially where choice was limited?

Still a draft

Before the scoring model becomes stable, every area needs explicit subcriteria, evidence requirements, confidence labels, and examples of low, medium, and high performance.

A score must never be purchasable.

Sponsorship, payment, verification plans, commercial relationships, or contributor status must not directly improve an OETS assessment.
