How monday.com’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 Score35/100

Agent-ready 51.6 × 0.30 = 15.48

API quality 18.9 × 0.20 = 3.78

Openness 7.2 × 0.20 = 1.44

Built-in AI 57.8 × 0.15 = 8.67

Automation 36.8 × 0.15 = 5.52

(15.48 + 3.78 + 1.44 + 8.67 + 5.52) ÷ (0.30 + 0.20 + 0.20 + 0.15 + 0.15) = 34.89 ÷ 1.00 = 34.9

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.
