Understanding opportunity scores
What the 0–100 composite means, and how to tune the weights to your business.
Updated Aug 2, 2026
Every opportunity gets a composite score from 0 to 100 — a single number for "do this first". It blends five sub-scores:
| Sub-score | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Impact (0–10) | Business impact if automated |
| Difficulty (0–10, inverted) | Implementation effort and risk |
| Time saved | Hours per month, normalized |
| Annual cost | Pound value at your hourly rates |
| AI confidence (0–100) | How certain the AI is that this is automatable |
The default blend weights impact highest (30%), then difficulty (20%), time saved (20%), annual cost (15%) and AI confidence (15%).
Tune it to your business
Two levers change the math:
- Savings model (Settings → Savings model): set your blended hourly rate, the minutes saved per run, and a realisation factor — the fraction of freed time actually reclaimed. Every monetary figure — annual savings, payback period, the ROI graph — recomputes from these.
- Scoring weights: the composite blend of impact, difficulty, time saved, annual cost and AI-confidence is tunable — raise the annual-cost weight for a cost-focused quarter and the board re-ranks live.
Score bands
- 75+ (green): strong candidates — high value, achievable
- 55–74 (amber): worth planning, usually blocked on difficulty
- below 55: keep for later, or dismiss with a reason
Edit any score
Open an opportunity and drag the sub-score sliders — the composite recomputes live and every change lands in the score history with who changed it and when. AI proposes; you decide.
