Set Up Team Scoring

As a product leader, you want to set up your organization for collaborative scoring so that your team can score products together, track progress over time, and maintain consistent evaluation standards.

How organizations work

Organizations in Dacard.ai are provisioned automatically based on email domain. When anyone on your team signs up with a company email, they join the same organization.
1

Sign up with your work email

The platform extracts your email domain and matches you to an existing organization or creates a new one.
2

Name your organization

The first user from a domain becomes the admin. Set your organization display name under Settings > Account.
3

Share the sign-up link

Tell team members to sign up at app.dacard.ai/sign-up with their work email. They join your organization automatically.

Configure roles

Roles control what each team member can see and do. Assign roles from Settings > Members.

Roles follow a hierarchy. You cannot assign a role higher than your own or modify users who outrank you. Promote your senior PMs and engineering leads to the Lead role so they can access portfolio analytics.

Add products to your portfolio

1

Open the dashboard

Navigate to your main dashboard.
2

Click Add Product

Enter the product URL and display name. Products are visible to all team members.
3

Score the product

Run an initial score to establish a baseline. This data populates the portfolio view.

Establish a scoring cadence

Consistent scoring is more valuable than frequent scoring. Here is a recommended cadence:
CadenceWhen to useWhat it captures
MonthlyStandard operating rhythmSteady-state progress tracking
Before/after milestonesMajor releases, reorgs, new tool adoptionImpact measurement for specific initiatives
Quarterly deep diveStrategic planning cyclesCross-product comparison for resource allocation

Composite team scores

When your team scores multiple products, the platform computes composite analytics:
  • Portfolio average: Mean score across all products. Track this as your top-level KPI.
  • Dimension heatmap: Visual map of all 27 dimensions across all products.
  • Systemic patterns: Dimensions that are consistently strong or weak across your org.
  • Score deltas: Change between scoring runs per product.

Best practices

Connected tools (GitHub, Linear, Slack) provide ground-truth operational signals. Scores based on URL crawling plus integration data are significantly more accurate than URL-only scores.
Enter competitor URLs to benchmark your products against the market. Competitor scores rely on public signals only (no integration data), so comparison is fair.
Share the suite analytics view in product reviews. Discuss patterns, not just individual scores. “Our whole organization is weak in Feedback Loop Quality” is a more actionable insight than “Product X scored 48.”
Each URL score costs 10 credits. Monitor your usage under Settings > Usage and consider the Pro plan if you are scoring more than 20 products per month.
