Rating Scale

Participants rate each item independently on a numeric scale. Candor handles batching, randomization, and statistical aggregation so you get per-item means, medians, and standard deviations — without building any UI or computing any statistics.

Candor does this so you don't have to

🎯

One task per item

Each participant rates one item at a time. Decoupled evaluation ensures maximum focus and prevents cross-item anchoring bias.

📦

Auto batching

Items are grouped into right-sized batches of ~10 per assignment. Each participant completes one batch with randomized item order.

📊

Per-item statistics

Mean, median, standard deviation, and inter-rater agreement computed automatically for every item. No spreadsheets required.

💰

Media-aware pricing

Cost per rating adjusts automatically based on item complexity — text, image, audio, or video. Fair pricing by default.

01 Under the hood
1

Independent evaluation

Each item is presented individually. Participants see one item at a time and assign a rating on the configured scale. No cross-item comparison or anchoring effects.

2

Item order randomization

The order in which items appear is shuffled for every participant. This eliminates primacy and recency bias, ensuring each item gets a fair evaluation.

Multiple participants per item

Each item is rated by multiple participants — not just one. Overlapping judgments let Candor compute reliable averages and measure inter-rater agreement.

4

Automatic aggregation

All individual ratings are automatically aggregated into per-item statistics. Mean, median, standard deviation, and inter-rater reliability are computed in real time.
