Assessment
Why a single number never describes an athlete
We publish a score out of a hundred because a single readable figure is the only way five separate assessments become a conversation. It is also the most misread thing in the report.

Parents ask for the number first. That is a reasonable thing to want. One figure, out of a hundred, that says how it went.
We publish one, because a single readable figure is the only way five separate assessments become a conversation rather than a spreadsheet. But a number is a summary, and summaries lose things.
A fEuzionScore™ is a weighted composite of five pillars. Two players can arrive at the same score by completely different routes. One is quick and erratic and does not listen. The other is slower, entirely reliable, learns a pattern in three repetitions and holds it a fortnight later. Their scores match. Nothing else about them does, and nothing you would do with them next is the same.
Which is why our own operating standard carries this rule in a box: a single result must never be used in isolation to determine long-term potential.
The number opens the report. The five pillars are the report.
The rest of this piece is still being written.
The opening above is final copy. The remainder is with the writer and will be published here when it is finished. Nothing has been generated to fill the gap.
If there is something you want explained properly in the meantime, tell us and we will write that one first.
