Scoring System
How Model Kombat evaluates and ranks AI model outputs using a transparent, rubric-based system.
How Scoring Works
Model Kombat uses a rubric-based scoring system where AI judges evaluate each model's output against specific criteria you define. All outputs are anonymized before judging to ensure completely unbiased evaluation.
Key Principle
Judges see outputs labeled only as "Model A", "Model B", etc. They never know which AI model (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, etc.) produced each response until you reveal identities.
The 0-100 Scoring Scale
Each criterion is scored on a 0-100 scale for maximum granularity
Rubric Criteria & Weights
Each rubric has multiple criteria with customizable weights
A rubric consists of multiple criteria, each with a name, description, and weight. Weights must sum to 100%.
Accuracy
Correctly identifies all bugs, security issues, and anti-patterns in the code
Completeness
Covers security vulnerabilities, logic errors, and best practice violations
Actionability
Provides clear, specific, implementable fixes for each issue found
Clarity
Well-organized, easy to understand, with clear explanations
How Final Scores Are Calculated
Example: If Model A scores 85 on Accuracy (35%), 70 on Completeness (25%), 90 on Actionability (25%), and 80 on Clarity (15%):
(85 × 0.35) + (70 × 0.25) + (90 × 0.25) + (80 × 0.15) = 29.75 + 17.5 + 22.5 + 12 = 81.75/100
Judge Reasoning
AI judges don't just output a number—they provide detailed reasoning for each score:
- Per-criterion scores with specific justification
- Strengths identified - what the model did well
- Weaknesses noted - areas for improvement
- Overall assessment summarizing the evaluation
This transparency lets you understand why each model received its score, not just the final number.
Fairness Controls
Multiple safeguards ensure unbiased evaluation
Models are assigned random labels (A, B, C...) - judges never see model names until you reveal them
AI judges evaluate outputs without knowing which model produced them, eliminating brand bias
All models receive the exact same prompt and system instructions
Temperature, max tokens, and other settings are identical across all participants
Judges score against specific criteria, not subjective preferences
Judges are instructed to use the entire 0-100 range to differentiate performance
Tournament Flow
Generate
Each model produces its initial response to your prompt
Critique
Models anonymously critique each other's outputs, identifying strengths and weaknesses
Refine
Models improve their responses based on critiques received (tests adaptability)
Judge
AI judges score each output (0-100) against your rubric criteria
Reveal
Finalize results and reveal which model (GPT-4, Claude, etc.) produced each output
