# Create a Rubric

> Set consistent evaluation standards across multiple scenarios

Rubrics let you define evaluation standards once and apply them across multiple scenarios. This keeps assessments structured and consistent — especially useful when you want to measure the same skills across every session.

***

## How to Create a Rubric

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Rubrics in the left-hand navigation menu on your Exec workspace" />

  <Step title="Click Create Rubric in the top-right corner">
    Enter a name that reflects what the rubric is for (e.g., Sales Discovery Rubric).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click on Add Criteria">
    Add a skill category you'll be evaluating against (e.g., Communication, Problem Solving).

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add specific behaviors">
    Within each criterion, click **Add Item** to define the specific behavior being evaluated (e.g., Demonstrates full attention).

    </Frame>

    For each item, write descriptions for three performance levels:

    * **Good** — what strong performance looks like
    * **Fair** — acceptable but not optimal
    * \*\*Poor \*\*— poor performance

    <Tip>
      Each criterion item can be linked to one or more skills for tracking competency development over time. When a learner is graded on that criterion, the score also feeds into their skill proficiency. See [Create and Manage Skills](/skills/create-and-manage) to learn more.
    </Tip>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Example: Good / Fair / Poor in Practice

Here's what well-written criteria looks like for a discovery call rubric:

**Rubric:** Discovery Call\
**Criteria:** Strategic Relationship Building\
**Behavior:** Position as industry specialist

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="star" title="Good">
    Clearly articulates domain expertise, references specific similar clients, and demonstrates a deep understanding of the prospect's industry challenges and regulatory environment.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="check" title="Fair">
    Mentions some industry experience but lacks specific examples or depth.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="arrow-down" title="Poor">
    Fails to establish credibility or relies only on company credentials rather than personal expertise.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## After You Create a Rubric

Once saved, your rubric will appear in your library. From there you can:

* Apply it to any scenario
* Update or expand it at any time
* Let Exec automatically link relevant skills to criterion items when you apply it (if auto-tagging is enabled on your skills) — see [Create and Manage Skills](/skills/create-and-manage) for details

***

## Tips

* **Group related behaviors under clear categories** — for example, Rapport Building or Technical Knowledge
* **Build rubrics for your most repeated scenarios** — sales calls, presentations, and coaching conversations are good starting points
