How to Build a Coaching Rubric Funders Trust

A score is only as good as the rubric behind it. Here is how to build one that means something.

What a rubric actually is

A rubric is a written definition of what a good session looks like, broken into categories, each weighted by how much it matters. It turns judgment into something repeatable.

What belongs in it

• Categories that name the real parts of a session.
• A short description of what strong looks like in each.
• Weights that add to one hundred, so the score reflects priorities.

Build the rubric first, and every review after becomes evidence instead of opinion.
