Scoring Rules

Your team's daily score is based on three weighted factors: stock performance, news sentiment, and compensation changes.

Scoring Breakdown

Category Weight Description
Stock Performance 60% Daily percentage change in company stock price
News Sentiment 30% Positive/negative media coverage
Compensation Changes 10% Executive pay raises, cuts, or bonuses

📈 Stock Performance (60%)

The largest component of your score comes from how well your CEO's company stock performs each day.

How It Works

Each day, we calculate the percentage change in the company's stock price from market close to market close. This percentage is multiplied by 60 to determine points.

Stock Change Points Earned
+5% +300 points
+2% +120 points
+1% +60 points
0% 0 points
-1% -60 points
-2% -120 points
-5% -300 points

Example

If Tim Cook's Apple stock rises 2.5% in a day, you earn: 2.5 × 60 = 150 points

📰 News Sentiment (30%)

Positive and negative news coverage about your CEO or their company affects your score.

How It Works

We analyze articles from major financial news sources (Bloomberg, CNBC, Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Financial Times) each day and score them as positive, neutral, or negative.

News Type Points per Article
Major Positive Story +100 points
Minor Positive Mention +30 points
Neutral Coverage 0 points
Minor Negative Mention -30 points
Major Negative Story -100 points

Example

If Satya Nadella gets featured in 2 positive articles about Microsoft's AI progress, you earn: 2 × 100 = 200 points

💰 Compensation Changes (10%)

Major announcements about CEO pay adjustments contribute to your score.

How It Works

When a CEO receives a raise, bonus, stock grant, or pay cut, it affects their score.

Compensation Event Points
Large raise/bonus (>$5M) +150 points
Medium raise/bonus ($1M-$5M) +75 points
Stock grant announcement +50 points
Pay cut or reduction -100 points

Example

If Mary Barra receives a $3M bonus for GM's quarterly performance, you earn: +75 points

Daily Total Calculation

Each day, your total score for a CEO is:

Formula

Daily Score = Stock Points + News Points + Compensation Points

Full Example - Jensen Huang (NVIDIA)

  • Stock rises 3% → 3 × 60 = +180 points
  • Featured in 1 positive article → +100 points
  • No compensation news → 0 points
  • Total: +280 points for the day

With 10 CEOs on your team, you'd calculate this for each CEO and sum the totals to get your daily team score!
