Professional Portfolio Score Calculator

Volume & Depth is calculated as totalProjects × 2.5 × (1 − min(totalProjects, 20)/40), and that final term shrinks toward 0.5 as your project count climbs toward 20 and beyond — so each additional project past a certain point contributes less than the one before it. The score is also hard-capped at 20 regardless of how the formula computes, which is the calculator's way of rewarding a solid body of work without letting sheer quantity dominate the total.

Recency uses a step function, not a smooth curve: work from the last year scores the full 15 points, work up to 3 years old drops to 12, up to 5 years drops to 8, and anything older declines linearly and can reach zero. A 2-year-old newest project falls in the "up to 3 years" tier at 12 points — noticeably below the 15-point ceiling — because the calculator only looks at your single newest piece of work, not the average age of everything in your portfolio.

Each of the six scored dimensions (volume, diversity, recency, social proof, results, and online presence) is converted to a percentage of its own maximum possible points, and Weakest Area reports whichever percentage is lowest. It's a deliberate hint: because a dimension near 0% has the most room to grow, improving it typically raises your total score more than adding further strength to a dimension that's already scoring well.

Testimonials are worth 2.5 points each up to a cap of 10, and case studies are worth 3 points each up to a separate cap of 10, so the two together max out at 20 points. Case studies are worth slightly more per item, reflecting that a detailed write-up showing process and results is treated as stronger social proof than a short testimonial quote, but testimonials reach their cap faster (at 4 of them versus roughly 3.3 case studies).
