Evaluations

The process of analyzing sources using scorecards to generate insights and quality metrics.

Tasks

Individual units of work in Plexus, representing operations like source processing and evaluations.

  2. Define Scorecards

    Set up evaluation criteria and scoring rules.

  3. Run Evaluations

    Process sources using your scorecards.

  4. Monitor Tasks

    Track progress and review results.

Next Steps
