JSS

[Prosanta K]

I had 94% JSS and after that, I also got three 5 star feedback but my profile changed to 96% jss. How?

Why not 100% job success score?

Simple Maths... You can't get to 100% while whatever caused you to have 94% (rather than 100%) is still in your calculation window.

Say you have 100 completed contracts of equal or similar size in your calculation window, and 94 are counted as positive. That means 6 counted as not positive. You'd have to do another 100 contracts with a perfect outcome to get to 97%

But as your poor feedback from March will fall out of your 6 months window, you could theoretically get to 100% in September (6 months after the poor outcome)

You got lucky. My JSS is only decreasing. I got two positive feedbacks after a negative one and still no change.
