The proficiency scale
SkillPulse uses a 1–5 Proficiency Level scale, where 1 is the lowest level and 5 is the highest. Employees and co-assessors rate on the same 1–5 scale.
Target, agreed, and gap
Target Value — the level expected for the skill on that job (the benchmark).
Agreed Value — the final level the manager records after reviewing all ratings.
Skill Gap — agreed value minus target value; a negative gap points to a development area.
See Understanding Target Values for the full explanation.
