# Scoring Optimizer — Evaluation Score Optimization Tool

A specialized skill that enhances the score optimization capabilities of compliance-checker and plan-writer agents.

## Target Agents

- **compliance-checker** — Score analysis, disqualification risk assessment
- **plan-writer** — High-score item focused writing strategy

## Evaluation Score Analysis Framework

### Common Evaluation Structure (Government Funding Programs)

| Evaluation Area | Typical Score | Key Points |
|----------------|-------------|-----------|
| Technical Merit | 30-40 pts | Technical differentiation, innovativeness, IP ownership |
| Business Viability | 20-30 pts | Market size, revenue plan, commercialization strategy |
| Execution Capability | 15-25 pts | CEO experience, personnel, infrastructure |
| Plan Appropriateness | 10-20 pts | Implementation schedule, goal specificity |
| Policy Alignment | 5-10 pts | Government policy direction alignment |
| Bonus Points | Up to 5-10 pts | Women/disabled-owned enterprise, region, employment |

### 4-Step Score Analysis

```
1. Extract scoring table from announcement → Map scores per item
2. Identify high-score items → Top 3 items = 60-70% of total
3. Among lower items, identify "zero if not addressed" mandatory items
4. Check bonus point items → Prioritize easily obtainable bonus points
```

## High-Score Item Writing Strategies

### Technical Merit (Usually Highest Score)

| Criterion | High-Score Strategy | Failure Pattern |
|----------|-------------------|----|
| Technical Differentiation | Cite patents/papers, quantitative comparison vs. existing tech | Only using abstract "innovative" expressions |
| Technical Maturity | Specify TRL level, present prototype/PoC results | Staying at idea level |
| Technical Evidence | Include formulas/algorithms/architecture diagrams | Listing features without technical explanation |

### Business Viability

| Criterion | High-Score Strategy | Failure Pattern |
|----------|-------------------|----|
| Market Size | Step-wise TAM→SAM→SOM calculation with sources | Unsupported market size claims |
| Revenue Plan | Bottom-up estimation, specific sales channels | Top-down only estimation |
| Competitive Analysis | Positioning matrix, quantitative comparison tables | Claiming "no competitors" |

### Execution Capability

| Criterion | High-Score Strategy | Failure Pattern |
|----------|-------------------|----|
| CEO Capability | Specific listing of relevant experience years, awards/certifications | Summary resume only |
| Team Composition | Name + degree + experience for key personnel | Abstract "we have excellent talent" |
| Infrastructure | Specific equipment, facility, partnership lists | General descriptions |

### Estimated Score Calculation Matrix

```markdown
| Evaluation Item | Max Score | Self-Assessment | Estimated Score | Improvable? | Strategy |
|----------------|----------|----------------|----------------|------------|----------|
| Technical Differentiation | 15 | 8/10 | 12 | Yes | Add patent filing evidence |
| Market Analysis | 10 | 6/10 | 6 | Yes | Strengthen market data |
| CEO Capability | 10 | 9/10 | 9 | Difficult | - |
| Budget Appropriateness | 5 | 7/10 | 3.5 | Yes | Strengthen calculation basis |
| **Total** | **100** | | **73.5** | | Target: 80+ |
```

### Improvement ROI Analysis

Improve items with the highest score improvement relative to effort first:
```
Improvement ROI = (Expected Score Improvement) / (Required Effort)
```
