While health indicators give you a quick visual signal, the health score provides more granular insight into exactly where a metric sits within its historical distribution.

How the score works

Each metric receives a health score from 0 to 100 based on its percentile position within the past 12 weeks of same-weekday data.
  • A score of 50 means today’s value is right at the median—exactly what you’d expect
  • A score of 90 means you’re outperforming 90% of historical values
  • A score of 10 means you’re underperforming compared to 90% of historical values
For metrics where lower is better (like CAC), the score is automatically inverted. A score of 90 always means “performing well” regardless of whether high or low values are desirable.

When to use the score

The health score is particularly useful when:

Comparing across metrics

Quickly identify which metrics are your strongest and weakest performers today.

Tracking trends

A metric moving from 60 to 45 over several days signals a developing issue before it hits “Caution”.

Prioritising attention

When multiple metrics show caution, the score helps you decide which to address first.

Reporting to stakeholders

A single number is easier to communicate than percentile bands.

Score vs indicator

The health indicator and health score work together:
  • Indicators answer: “Does this need my attention right now?”
  • Scores answer: “How is this performing relative to normal?”
