Scoring Calculation:
Here’s a sample 10Pie Course Rating calculation based on the above metrics:
- Each metric is assigned a weight based on its relative importance in the overall evaluation process.

- For the Price metric, the value is inverted to ensure lower prices contribute positively to the overall score.
- The ‘Depth of the Curriculum’ and ‘10Pie assessment score’ metric is scaled to a range between 0 and 5 to maintain consistency with other metrics.
- Normalization is applied to Price, Brand Rating, and Number of Reviews, bringing all metrics to a comparable scale.
- The overall score for each course is calculated as the weighted sum of all metrics.
Ranking:
- Courses are ranked in descending order based on their overall scores.
