Description
Add severityOffset; optionally clamp to [floor,ceiling].
Scoring rules combine points, item weights, boundaries and policies for omission, extra credit or missing items. A computed mark is meaningful only under those explicit rules; applying a rule does not establish its fairness or official status.
Add severityOffset; optionally clamp to [floor,ceiling].
When to use this tool
Use Rubric Rater Severity Supplied Offset when checking one supplied scoring contribution or policy boundary.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter rawScore, severityOffset, floor, ceiling, clamp. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read adjusted, wasClamped. Inspect wasClamped before interpreting the associated values.
Require ceiling > floor and rawScore within those bounds. Add severityOffset; optionally clamp to [floor,ceiling]. wasClamped is true only when clamping is enabled and the shifted value lies outside the bounds.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- The severity offset is supplied, not estimated from raters. Without clamping adjusted values can exceed the scale; this is not a fairness or reliability analysis.
- 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
Use the complete approved rubric and score record for an official outcome, and examine measurement quality separately.
