Turning a bunch of numeric attributes into a single score

HiScore author here. HiScore allows domain experts to easily create and maintain scores. It is currently being used by a major environmental non-profit and by IES, a startup that assesses the safety and sustainability of fracking wells.<p>The algorithm itself is a mashup of a paper I wrote for AAAI: <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~aothman/splines.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs.cmu.edu&#x2F;~aothman&#x2F;splines.pdf</a> and this paper: <a href="http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10543-005-0028-x" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;link.springer.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;10.1007&#x2F;s10543-005-0028-x</a>

Asker of the StackOverflow question here! (And payer of the 500-point bounty to the author of HiScore, which I think is brilliant!) I&#x27;m excited about this for the potential applications for personal (or startup) goal tracking, like turning a bunch of constituent numbers into a single metric for how well you&#x27;re doing.
