Explainable scoring engine

Turn any CSV into a ranked, explainable shortlist.

Ontology Analytics scores and ranks every row in your spreadsheet against weighted criteria you define — and shows exactly why each row landed where it did. Rule-based and fully traceable, no black-box AI. Built for candidate sourcing, and just as useful for any list you need to prioritise.

One engine, many lists

If it fits in a spreadsheet and you can describe what “good” looks like, Ontology Analytics can rank it.

Built for serious, defensible ranking

Everything you need to go from a raw spreadsheet to a shortlist you can stand behind.

Explainable scoring

Every row's score breaks down by criterion, with the exact matches that produced it — defensible by design.

Weighted criteria

Group the keywords that matter into weighted buckets (“shoeboxes”) that define what a strong row looks like.

Works with your columns

Map any CSV. The pipeline adapts to your fields and builds term pools from your own data automatically.

Recency weighting

For date-based columns, recent values count more than older ones — so current relevance rises to the top.

Command menu

Jump to any step, run a scoring pass, or find a row from a single keyboard shortcut.

Reusable projects

Save a full scoring configuration as a project, then reload, duplicate, or compare it later.

How the pipeline works

Five ordered steps, run inside a project. Each step narrows or enriches the rows you're ranking.

01
Data

Load any CSV (or start from a sample) and map which columns drive scoring.

02
Filter words

Whole-word matches in selected columns remove rows you don't want.

03
Exclusions

Mark specific field values to drop from the set before scoring.

04
Criteria

Group frequent terms into weighted buckets and tune the weights.

05
Score

Weighted, rule-based scoring (with optional recency) ranks every row.
