The MASTER framework
Six dimensions of professional performance, measured with fixed criteria and evidence, combined into one deterministic score from 0 to 100.
Memory
Holding information accurately and completely: facts, terms and the relationships between them, organised so they can be used.
Application
Using knowledge on real problems: transferring it to the concrete case, weighing trade-offs and justifying the approach.
Speech
Expressing ideas so others follow: clear language, a recognisable structure and no wasted words.
Teaching
Making others understand: breaking a concept into steps, choosing the right example and anticipating confusion.
Execution
Turning intent into action: concrete steps, sensible order and honest planning for risk.
Recall
Retrieving the right thing under pressure: exact terms, precise detail and no conflation of related ideas.
How the score is calculated
Each dimension has three criteria judged on a fixed five-band rubric with quoted evidence. Application code — never a model — converts those judgments into dimension scores and the MASTER Score using versioned weights. The same judgments always give the same score.
Performance bands
Scores map to seven bands: Foundation, Developing, Competent, Advanced, Expert, Master and Elite. Bands make progress visible between measurements.
