How Amplitude’s scores are calculated

The full audit trail, recomputed from the verdict data at build time through the same code that produced the leaderboard: verdict × quality × story weight per cell, cells sum to dimension scores, dimensions blend into the PA Score. Every number on the product page is reproducible from this page alone; for why the formula looks like this, see the methodology.

verdict factors: full ×1.0 · partial ×0.6 · disputed ×0.3 · none ×0.0 · n/a excluded from both sides · cell points = weight × quality × factor · cell max = weight × 10

PA Score32/100

Agent-ready 45.3 × 0.30 = 13.59

API quality 25.7 × 0.20 = 5.14

Openness 16.2 × 0.20 = 3.24

Built-in AI 52.9 × 0.15 = 7.93

Automation 10.5 × 0.15 = 1.57

(13.59 + 5.14 + 3.24 + 7.93 + 1.57) ÷ (0.30 + 0.20 + 0.20 + 0.15 + 0.15) = 31.48 ÷ 1.00 = 31.5

Scores are stored to 1 decimal; the product page’s pills round to whole numbers for display. Each dimension below shows the stories, verdicts, and cited evidence behind its number.
