Guide
How to Read the Eye
From the center out.
| Part | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Pupil | The top picks: the items the weekly email would put first. |
| Optic nerve | The picks leaving the eye for the Suggestions cards below it. |
| Rings around the pupil | Grade. A sits nearest the pupil, then B, C and D. |
| Two dashed rings | The A and B cutoffs: the fit score each grade needs. |
| Iris sectors | Capabilities: the kind of work an item matches. |
| Dots in the iris | One graded opportunity each. |
| Fibers | The keywords each opportunity matched. |
| Six lens rings | The six fit factors and their weights: vehicle, set-aside, size, place, competition and time. |
| Chords | Each opportunity's line back to its source. |
| Outer band | Sources and gates, one cell per opportunity. Items held at grade D sit on the gates' sector. |
| Bars | Each opportunity's fit score, split into its six factors. |
