LISA Evaluation
This is an old version of the article. Please check the actual version in our new Knowledge Base.
The calculation
The following error severity levels are defined:
- Minor: Error in translation or grammar that does not impact meaning (weight: 1 point).
- Major: Error in translation or grammar that impacts meaning. This can also be any error on Cover, TOC, and other easily detectable and therefore important places (weight: 5 points).
- Critical: Meaning of the entire document is compromised. Errors that can cause damage to equipment or user’s injury (weight: 10 points).
XTRF uses the following formula for Quality Index (QI) calculation, which is converted into a 1-to-5 final evaluation of the job:
QI = (1 – Total mistake points / Number of words checked) × 100
You can manage the LISA TQI Threshold for the ratings in Configurations > System: Values Advanced > Ratings.

Total
mistake points: 4×1 + 2×3 + 1×10 = 20
QI
= (1 – 20/1000) × 100 = 0,98 × 100 = 98
QI
> 95 and QI < 98.1, so evaluation based on XTRF's default ratings is 3
(Medium Quality: needs numerous changes).
