KPI Scores & Reports
How KPI Scoring Works
An explanation of how Strova automatically scores daily updates across five dimensions using AI.
Every time you post a daily update, Strova's AI analyzes the content and assigns scores across five KPI dimensions. These scores build up over time to give you and your team a clear picture of productivity patterns.
Why Automatic Scoring?
Manual performance tracking is slow and subjective. Strova removes the guesswork by evaluating every update against consistent criteria — automatically, every day. The goal isn't surveillance; it's to surface trends that you and your manager might miss in the day-to-day.
The Five KPI Dimensions
Task Completion Score (0–2)
Measures how much concrete work was completed based on yesterday's section.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 2 | Clear evidence of completed tasks — PRs merged, features shipped, bugs resolved |
| 1 | Some progress but outcomes are vague or partially described |
| 0 | No completed tasks mentioned, or only vague effort ("worked on things") |
Planning Quality Score (0–2)
Measures how specific and actionable your today's plan is.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 2 | Clear, specific tasks with enough detail to understand scope |
| 1 | Somewhat specific but missing context or overly broad |
| 0 | Vague ("continuing work") or plan section missing |
Blocker Communication Score (0–1)
Measures whether blockers are clearly communicated.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 1 | Blockers are either clearly stated (with context) or explicitly confirmed as none |
| 0 | Blocker section missing or too vague to act on |
Timeliness Score
Measures when the update was submitted relative to your team's cutoff time.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| On time | Posted before the DSM cutoff time |
| Grace period | Posted within the grace period window after the cutoff |
| Late | Posted after the grace period ended |
Support Hours
An estimate of hours spent on support or unplanned work, extracted from your update descriptions. This is informational — it doesn't directly affect your Overall Score but is tracked over time.
Overall Score (0–100)
The Overall Score is a composite of the four scored dimensions above (Task Completion, Planning Quality, Blocker Communication, Timeliness), weighted and normalized to a 0–100 scale.
See What is the Overall Score and how is it calculated? for the exact formula.
How to Improve Your Score
- Write specific completed tasks, not just effort
- Plan tomorrow concretely — name the tasks
- Always address blockers, even with "no blockers today"
- Post before your team's cutoff time
