Scorecard

A scorecard is a shareable report that summarizes forecasting performance, including Brier score, skill score, calibration tables, and breakdowns by category or time.

Definition

• headline metrics such as Brier score and Brier skill score

• calibration diagnostics (tables and curves)

• distribution / sharpness indicators

• breakdowns by category, horizon, or group

Scorecards make results easy to share and easy to audit. They also reduce confusion by standardizing definitions and settings (bins, baselines, checkpoints).
