How a fix is scored

  • Three votes

    Each technician can give a fix one like, one useful vote and one saves-time vote.

  • Score

    The total of all three. Technicians cannot vote on their own fixes.

  • Periods

    Fix of the day is the top fix added that day. The week runs Monday to Sunday, and the month is the calendar month.

  • Ties

    The fix that was added first wins.

These rules are a proposal. The weighting can change before launch, for example counting a saves-time vote twice.
