Score every application in one pass
Auto Scoring evaluates every application against the criteria that matter to your program, then routes only top-ranked candidates to your committee. Logic Scoring handles the objective fields. AI Scoring handles the written answers. Both run from one scorecard you build and control. Available only on select platform levels.
How Auto Scoring works
Three steps, all inside the Review Board your team already uses.
Create and build your scorecard
Create and build your scorecard
Create a scoring round in the Kaleidoscope platform and add your criterion, then choose its method. Logic criteria map conditions to application fields. AI criteria get a rubric that defines what to look for and how to score it. Assign point values and weighting as you go.
Test before you commit
Test before you commit
Run a test pass on a limited set of applications. Check how your conditions behave and how the AI reaches its scores, then edit and test again until the output matches your standard. This step is required, not optional.
Score at scale
Score at scale
Finalize and score the full pool. Results, rankings, and reasoning appear in the Review Board with real-time progress.
What changes for your team
Hours, not weeks
Score hundreds or thousands of applications in a single pass. Volume stops dictating your award timeline.
Consistent scoring
Every applicant is evaluated against the same criteria the same way. No reviewer fatigue, no drift, no variation.
Committee time on finalists
The first pass comes off the committee plate, so their hours go to the applicants who need human judgment.
Decisions you can defend
Logic Scoring gives auditable rules. AI Scoring gives written reasoning. You can show a board exactly why an application scored the way it did.
No new tools
Auto Scoring lives inside the Review Board. No exports and no integrations for your team to manage.
Built for rolling cycles
Score as applications come in, run multiple Auto Score rounds per program.
Auto Scoring FAQ
No. Auto Scoring runs alongside your manual reviewer rounds. It reduces how many applications need human review. It does not replace the Review Board, your reviewers, or your award decisions.
Use Logic Scoring for objective criteria that map to fields, like GPA, word count, income thresholds, or contributor responses. Use AI Scoring for criteria that need judgment, like essay quality, leadership, or how an applicant articulates financial need. Both can run inside a single Auto Score round.
All question and response types.
You define it in the rubric: criteria, descriptions, answer options, point values, and weighting. The AI scores against the rubric you build.
Any component type using conditions such as equal to, greater than, or contains, plus word count, contributor form counts, and repeating question set counts.
Yes, and it is a required step. You test your criteria on a limited set of applications and validate the scores before committing to a full run.
Yes. Multiple Auto Score rounds can run for a single program, including on a rolling basis as applications are submitted.
Rounds process automatically with real-time progress. Timing varies by application volume.
Results appear in the Review Board and in score reports: a score per criterion, an overall score, and written reasoning for AI-scored criteria.
The platform flags it and lets you retry. No data is lost.
There is no added cost for existing Pro and Enterprise accounts. New customers follow standard tier pricing.
