Each researcher in a lab is scored on the Laboratory Management & Technical Support skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank researchers, compare two side by side, or compare your labs 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 Laboratory Management & Technical Support skills need attention. Reports also follow each group leader's lab.
