# Hivel Score
{% embed url="" %}
Hivel Score provides engineering leaders with a fast, reliable snapshot of overall performance - without the need to navigate multiple dashboards. It brings together key signals like **speed, quality, and throughput** into a single, easy-to-understand score.
#### What is Hivel Score?
Hivel Score is an **aggregate, organization-level indicator** that reflects how your teams are performing across core engineering metrics. Each score is presented out of 100, making it simple to quickly assess performance at a glance.
#### How to interpret the score
* **Scores are contextual**: They are most meaningful when compared to a previous timeframe.
* **Trend-focused**: The score highlights whether metrics have improved, declined, or remained stable.
* **Drilldowns available**: Supporting metrics and percentage changes provide deeper insights into what’s driving the score.
#### Why it matters
Hivel Score is designed to help you:
1. **Quickly assess performance health** across teams or the entire organization
2. **Identify areas of improvement** by understanding metric-level changes
3. **Track score progress over time**
#### What you can configure
The metrics and weightages to be considered are completely configurable.
* Changes made to **sub-metric configurations** will impact the Hivel Score from the **current month onward only**.
* Changes made to **primary metric configurations** will **impact past, current, and future months**.
#### About scoring and stack ranking
The scoring system, along with the stack rank view, is intended to provide **directional clarity** - helping you understand how teams are progressing over time and where attention may be needed.
Rather than serving as a direct comparison tool, it offers a **relative view of performance trends**, making it easier to:
* Spot teams that are improving or facing challenges
* Highlight which metrics may need focus
* Understand how performance evolves across the organization
