In an EnlightenAI rubric, points are positional — each performance level earns points based on its column position, not a number you type in. The leftmost level is worth 0 points, and each column to the right adds one point. To change the scale, you add or remove level columns.
How are points assigned to each level?
Every criterion has a row of performance levels (columns). EnlightenAI numbers them automatically from left to right, starting at 0. So a criterion with five levels produces a 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 scale, where the top level is worth 4 points. You do not type the point value yourself — the platform sets it from the column's position, which keeps every level consistent.
How do I change the points or scale?
Because scoring is positional, you change the scale by changing the columns:
Add a level to extend the scale (for example, 0–4 becomes 0–5).
Delete a level to shorten it.
Reorder levels by moving a column left or right; the points re-number automatically.
You do not need to edit numbers anywhere — adjusting the columns is all it takes.
How are the maximum and total points calculated?
A criterion's maximum is the highest level's value — one less than the number of columns. A criterion with five levels has a maximum of 4 points. Your rubric's total is the sum of every criterion's maximum, shown as "total points" in the rubric preview.
