How to read your result
The score is a diagnostic, not a grade
A 62 is not a bad mark. It is a map of which of the five dimensions is dragging the others down. Most freelancers score high on delivery and low on pipeline, which is exactly why work arrives in bursts and then stops.
The lowest dimension sets your ceiling
These five are not independent and they do not average out in real life. Perfect delivery cannot rescue a business with no pipeline, and a full pipeline cannot rescue one with no financial buffer. Fix the lowest score before improving anything already strong.
Re-score quarterly, not weekly
Every one of these dimensions moves on a scale of months. Scoring yourself weekly measures your mood rather than your business. Put a note in your calendar for three months out and compare the two.
The mistake: scoring how you feel this week
A good week inflates every dimension and a bad one deflates them all, which makes the score useless. Score the last ninety days from your actual records - what you invoiced, what you were paid, how many enquiries arrived - not from memory.
