Description
Compare supplied personal and work relevance ratings.
Adult-learning records distinguish self ratings, comparison criteria, acknowledgments, feedback states and recognized credits. Closing a feedback item can mean completion or decline, while a reported rating gap does not establish competence. Supplied priorities and evidence references need the broader learning context.
Compare supplied personal and work relevance ratings.
When to use this tool
Use Problem Case Relevance Rating Pair when you already have personalRelevance, workRelevance, scaleMinimum, scaleMaximum and need to compare supplied personal and work relevance ratings.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter personalRelevance, workRelevance, scaleMinimum, scaleMaximum. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read personalMinusWork, equalRatings. Inspect equalRatings before interpreting the associated values.
Require ordered scale endpoints and both ratings within them; return personal-work and exact equality.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| workRelevance | Work Relevance | Required. Finite number. |
| scaleMinimum | Scale Minimum | Required. Finite number. |
| scaleMaximum | Scale Maximum | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| personalMinusWork | Personal Minus Work | Required. Finite number. |
| equalRatings | Equal Ratings | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The tool does not infer relevance, learner motivation, transfer or an appropriate learning activity.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the complete goals, criteria, learner preferences, evidence and recognition policy. Use an appropriate educational assessment for learning decisions; local labels, time gaps and supplied credit balances do not establish outcomes or informed agreement.
