punteggi

Punteggi is the plural of the Italian noun punteggio and refers to numerical values assigned to evaluate a performance, result, or outcome. The plural form is used when talking about several such values across different events, datasets, or assessments. Punteggi can denote points earned in a game, the final result of a competition, or scores obtained on exams and evaluations.

In sports and games, punteggio measures the points accumulated under the rules of the activity. The final punteggio determines the winner, and tie-breakers may apply when scores are equal. For example, in soccer the punteggio equals goals, while in basketball it sums points from field goals and free throws.

In education and testing, punteggio refers to the numeric mark assigned for a response or task. Punteggi contribute to final grades, certificates, or eligibility decisions. Scales vary by country and institution, such as 0–100 or 0–30, with different passing thresholds.

In data analysis and decision-making, punteggi denote scores produced by models or heuristic methods that summarize risk, quality, or likelihood. Examples include credit scoring, risk scores, and recommendation scores. Such punteggi are typically calibrated to probabilities and used to rank or classify entities.

In administrative and evaluative contexts, punteggi may combine component scores from rubrics or checklists, allowing partial credit and aggregated totals. The concept of punteggio is widespread across disciplines, and its exact meaning depends on the domain, the scoring rules, and the scale used.
