Ok, I'm an idiot. Especially with math.
Let's say we have a formula to create a score for a vendor's proposal. It's straightforward junior high math (and was part of the wording of the original RFP) and basically it takes the score generated by the evaluators and eventually divides it by the cost of their proposal.
Easy peasy, but now I have a couple of numbers ranging from 2ish to maybe a bit higher. I don't know what all the scores are so I can't guess how high the final numbers will go. The first few seem to all be under 5.
My problem, because I's a idjit with da numberfication, is how do I take all the final scores and present them as a score out of 10? I'm a little thrown off by the fact that I won't know the final numbers for a while, so I don't know what range the scores will be. What's the easiest way to take several numbers ranging from 2 to, say, 5 and present them as a final out of 10? Can I not do it until the final numbers come in? I don't want ordinals or anything like just rankings, I want to be able to say Vendor A scored 7.45/10, Vendor B has 8.9/10, etc. and have it make sense.
Bah I'm not sure I'm presenting, or even imagining, my question right.
