Alignment

Alignment reports show where your team agrees or disagrees on issue priorities. Use these reports to identify scoring conflicts and focus discussions on issues that need clarification.

What Alignment measures:

  • Score variation between team members on the same criterion
  • Disagreement patterns across criteria and evaluators
  • Areas requiring team discussion before finalizing priorities

Ducalis compares scores assigned to each criterion and measures the scatter. Score variation appears as a percentage—lower percentages indicate higher disagreement.

Alignment grading scales​

note

Alignment grading scales are separate for each report. Changing the scale in one report doesn't affect the other report.

0 to 35 percent – Very low alignment (red). The team's opinions are too contrasting. Discuss the issue or the criterion before proceeding.

35 to 50 percent – Medium alignment (orange). Consider discussing the issue, but the level is acceptable.

50 to 100 percent – High alignment (gray). The team agrees on the issue. Focus on other problems.
