Finalizing an assessment
Finalizing fixes the score as the assessment’s permanent record and makes it available to reports and trends; it moves through Submitted and Evidence review first.
- Answer every indicator you intend to answer.
- Select Submit. The assessment moves to Submitted.
- Review the evidence attached to the assessment; the status becomes Evidence review.
- Select Finalize. IPC360 computes the score and stores it as an immutable snapshot.
What finalizing changes
- The score becomes the score of record, with a full per-indicator ledger behind it.
- The assessment appears in trends and can be compared with earlier ones.
- The executive report and the other reports become available.
- The result can no longer drift: re-tuning the scoring engine can never move a historical result.
Note: Finalize when the assessment is genuinely complete. Reopening a finalized assessment is restricted, because a score of record that can be edited quietly is not a record.
