How Interior Design works in SkillScorer
Score
Each designer in a studio is scored on the Interior Design skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank designers, compare two side by side, or compare your studios against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Interior Design skills need attention. Reports also follow each project architect's studio.

How are designers scored in Interior Design?
Every designer is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one studio and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Interior Design?
Interior Design starts with these levels (called “Seniority Level” in the app): Graduate, Architectural Assistant, Architect, Senior Architect, Associate and Director. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Interior Design skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In architecture & design the app talks about designers, studios and project architects, and you can change any of those words too.
