# Read your evaluations and feedback

> Open a scored ticket, read the criterion breakdown and the reasoning behind each rating, and understand how the score was reached.

An evaluation is one score, on one of your tickets, against one scorecard.
Everything that produced the number is on the page, criterion by criterion, with
the reasoning written out and the transcript sitting beside it.

## Find the ticket

1. Open the **Evaluations** tab in the [agent portal](https://app.rulebase.co/agent/evaluations).
2. The list opens on the last 30 days. Adjust the date range in the top right if
   the ticket you want is older.
3. Scan the groups, or search by ticket subject using the magnifying glass.
4. Click a row to open it.

Each row carries the score, the customer, the ticket subject, and a small avatar
for who evaluated it. Hover the avatar and you see **Evaluated by AI**, or the
reviewer's name when a person scored it by hand. The **Low scores**, **Medium
scores**, and **High scores** groups use thresholds your organization chooses, so
the cut-offs may differ from another company's.

Use the sliders icon to change grouping. **Type** groups by AI versus manual,
and **No grouping** gives you a flat list, newest first.

## What the evaluation view shows

Opening a row shows the score on the left, the ticket
details and full transcript on the right, and the criterion breakdown down the
middle.

The tab under the score has your name on it. When a reviewer also scored the same
ticket by hand, a **Manual evaluation** tab appears next to **AI review** and you
can compare the two. A ticket handled by more than one person carries a separate
evaluation for each of you, so the score at the top can differ from
what a colleague sees on the same ticket.

## Read one criterion

Each criterion in the breakdown is a question about the interaction, with a result
and a short explanation:

* **The question**: the criterion as it is written on your team's scorecard.
* **The result badge**: usually **Pass**, **Partial**, or **Fail**, in whatever
  wording your scorecard uses, followed by the points as `25 / 25` or `0 / 25`.
* **The reasoning**: a plain-language explanation of why that result was chosen,
  usually quoting or paraphrasing what happened in the ticket.
* **View checks** or **Reason for rating**: expands the individual checks behind
  the criterion, where your scorecard uses them.
* **View explanation**: expands the fuller justification, and the help-centre
  answer with links when the criterion was judged against your knowledge base.

The reasoning
is specific, so it usually points at one line in the transcript, and you can
scroll the conversation on the right to that exact moment. If the reasoning quotes
something you did not say, or applies a policy that has since changed, that is
worth contesting.

## How the score is put together

The score at the top comes from the points each criterion earned against the
points it had available. Criteria are not always worth the same, so one fail on a
heavily weighted question moves the number more than two fails on light ones, and
adding up the badges in your head can leave you short of an explanation.

Three scoring rules affect the total:

* **Auto-Zero.** Some scorecards mark a criterion as critical. Failing it zeroes
  the whole scorecard, and the score shows an **Auto-Zero** label. The rest of the
  breakdown still shows what you passed.
* **A capped score.** Your scorecard can cap the total when a particular criterion
  fails. When that happened, hovering the score shows the reason for the cap.
* **Dependency rules.** One check can hang on another criterion's result. Where it
  does, the explanation opens with **Dependency rule** and spells out the
  connection.

<Tip>
  Read **Adherence by criteria** on your Overview alongside individual evaluations.
  One fail is a single ticket; the same criterion failing across several weeks is
  a pattern a coach will raise.

## AI scores and manual evaluations

Most tickets are scored by AI. When a reviewer scores the same ticket by hand
and publishes that manual evaluation, the manual result **replaces** the AI score.
Your averages, reports, and performance trends use the manual evaluation from
that point on. The AI score stays visible under the **AI review** tab on the
ticket so you can still see what the model thought.

When a trainer submits a manual evaluation for validation, that evaluation
changes your score immediately. If the validator corrects and publishes it, the
validator's evaluation becomes the result that counts.

## When a score changes

Scores are not always final. If you dispute a result and a reviewer agrees, the
reviewer's corrected evaluation becomes the one that counts, and your Evaluations
list shows that one. On the ticket you will see a green banner reading **Your
dispute has been reviewed** with a link to the updated evaluation.

While a dispute is still open, the ticket shows an orange **This evaluation is
currently being reviewed** banner. The score stays as-is until the reviewer
finishes. [Contest an evaluation](/guides/agent-portal/contest-an-evaluation)
covers the whole path.
