V2 Grade Details

Recommended Final Member Grade Formula:
Final Member Grade = 20% Legislative Effort + 25% Legislative Advancement + 25% Public Result / Became Law + 20% Agenda-Control Accountability + 10% Duty / Continuity.

Current V2 Formula Detail:
(20% x 82.5) + (25% x 76.9) + (25% x 0.0) + (20% x 100.0) + (10% x 52.0) = 60.9

Current V2 Formula Score: 60.9 V2 Formula Grade: D-

Current status: FINAL_APPROVED
Reason: All five V2 component scores are present under V1 scoring. Review methodology and evidence before marking Final.
This page now reads the V2 exports directly. If a component is blank, the export did not yet have enough data or methodology to calculate it. Blank is better than a false final score.
