Scoring Methodology

Score range

Each check returns a numeric score in the range 0.0 to 1.0.

Harnix displays these as percentages:

• 1.0 -> 100%
• 0.75 -> 75%
• 0.5 -> 50%
• 0.0 -> 0%

Status mapping

Per-check statuses are derived from percentage thresholds:

• ✓ pass: >= 75%
• △ partial: 25% to 74%
• ✗ fail: < 25%

Overall score

The current CLI computes overall score as the arithmetic mean of all evaluated checks:

overall = sum(check scores) / number of evaluated checks

Skipped and inapplicable checks are excluded from the evaluated set.

Qualitative bands

The overall percentage maps to one of these labels:

• 0 to 25: Poor
• 26 to 50: Needs Improvement
• 51 to 75: Good
• 76 to 100: Excellent

Recommendation ranking

Top recommendations prioritize:

1. Check tier (critical, then important, then nice-to-have)
2. Lower score within the same tier
