Your compliance score gives you an instant overview of how well you're meeting your scheme requirements. Understanding these numbers helps you prioritize work and identify gaps before they become problems.
Overall compliance score
The main score at the top of your dashboard shows your overall compliance percentage across all active schemes. This is calculated as:
(Requirements with evidence ÷ Total requirements) × 100
Per-agreement breakdown
Each scheme shows its own compliance score, so you can see which agreements need attention:
Green (80-100%) - Well-evidenced, ready for audit
Amber (50-79%) - Partial evidence, some gaps to fill
Red (Below 50%) - Significant evidence gaps, priority action needed
What affects your score
Linked evidence - Requirements with uploaded evidence count as complete
Approved evidence - Only evidence that has been approved (if approval workflow is enabled)
Active requirements - Schemes that are currently active and in-scope
Parcel assignments - Requirements must be properly assigned to relevant parcels
Score vs reality
Remember that compliance scores are based on uploaded evidence, not actual compliance. A high score means you have good evidence; it doesn't guarantee you're meeting all requirements in practice.
Using scores for planning
Focus on low-scoring schemes first
Check which specific requirements lack evidence
Set targets (e.g., all schemes above 80% before audit season)
Monitor trends over time - are scores improving?
Tips
Don't aim for 100% immediately - focus on critical requirements first
Use the compliance timeline to understand score changes
Review scores weekly as part of your compliance routine
