How Painter works in SkillScorer
Score
Each tradesperson in a crew is scored on the Painter skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank tradespeople, compare two side by side, or compare your crews 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 Painter skills need attention. Reports also follow each supervisor's crew.
