Agreement Score Equation

DRAFT - IN PROGRESS

People should generally be able to sort through results visually recognizing which sheets have the most agreement with minimal disagreement.  To make the process more objective and rigorous you could possibly apply an "agreement score" algorithm that produces a single comparable score for each posted idea.  Below is one possible algorithm that could be applied.

To be scored a sheet must have a minimum of 15 total dots (& signatures) or 2/3 the number of participants if less than 22 total participants.

Add each of the following:

(# of strong agreement dots / total dots) x 30
(# of agreement dots / total dots) x 20
(# of neutral dots / total dots) x 10
(# of disagreement dots / total dots) x -30
(# of strong disagreement dots  / total dots) x -40

= AGREEMENT SCORE

The sum would give an absolute score that favors those ideas with the most agreement and least amount of disagreement.  But I'm still not sure what to do about "Confusion" in the scoring, nor if the total number of dots should a factor in the total score.
