kokonaistaso

Kokonaistaso is a Finnish term used in multiple contexts to denote an overall or total level. The literal translation is "whole/total level" (kokonais meaning whole or total, and taso meaning level or tier). Because it is not a fixed technical term in Finnish, its exact meaning depends on the field and the method used to derive it.

In data reporting and statistics, kokonaistaso may refer to an aggregate score or final level that results from combining several indicators. For example, a health survey could assign a kokonaistaso that summarizes symptom severity into a single ordinal category. In education or assessment, the term can denote a final level or grade derived from sub-scores.

In computing, gaming, or user interfaces, kokonaistaso is sometimes used informally to denote an overall, integer-valued level or tier that a user has reached. It is typically expressed as an integer and may be used for ranking or access control.

Because there is no universal definition, Finnish sources typically define kokonaistaso within the context of a given framework or scoring scheme, and the calculation method—such as a sum, a weighted average, or normalization—varies accordingly.

Etymology: a compound of kokonaista- meaning "whole, total" and taso meaning "level" or "tier." See also taso, kokonaisluku, arvo, pisteytys, luokitus.
