Your reliability score
Five factors out of 100, what each is worth, why a new mentor has no score at all, and how to move it.
Reliability is a score out of 100 measuring whether you do what you said you would. It is separate from your rating: a rating is how good the session was, reliability is whether it happened as promised.
The five factors#
| Factor | Worth | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Turning up | 30 | Sessions you attended. The heaviest, because a missed session cannot be given back and it is entirely within your control. |
| Completion | 25 | Sessions that reached a completed state rather than being cancelled or abandoned. |
| Dispute outcomes | 20 | Disputes upheld against you - not disputes raised. |
| Cancellation discipline | 15 | Weighted by lateness. Two weeks out is an inconvenience; two hours out is a ruined afternoon. |
| Feedback delivery | 10 | Mock interview reports actually filed. Lowest because it applies to one service type. |
The page lists your factors worst-first with a suggested fix on each, so the top item is always the one worth working on.
Before you have a score#
You need 5 completed sessions before any score is published. Below that you have no score - not a zero, and not a low one.
Until then the page says so plainly, and nothing counts against you.
When it updates#
Recalculated on a schedule, at most a few hours behind - it is not instant after a session. A change you make today shows up today, not within seconds.
Every past score is kept with its own breakdown, so a score can always be explained rather than asserted. If yours looks wrong, the breakdown is auditable.
Moving it#
In order of return:
- Stop missing sessions. 30 points, the largest single lever.
- Cancel early or not at all. Lateness is what is weighted, not the fact of cancelling.
- File your mock interview reports. 10 points, and entirely within your control.
- Resolve problems in the messaging thread before they become disputes - an upheld dispute is 20 points, and most disputes start as an unanswered message.
