--- name: event-performance-classifier description: "Classifies events into performance tiers (Elite, Strong, Steady, Underperforming, At-Risk) using weighted KPI scoring against defined benchmarks, with per-event rationale, tier-specific action recommendations, and a reusable scoring rubric for batch or real-time evaluation. Use when scoring event performance, segmenting an event portfolio by health, flagging underperformers, or building a repeatable classification system for marketplace or event data." argument-hint: "[event-data] [kpi-benchmarks]" allowed-tools: ["Read"] --- # Event Performance Classifier ## Purpose Convert raw event metrics into a consistent, defensible performance tier for every event — using a weighted KPI rubric with explicit benchmarks — so analysts can triage a portfolio at a glance, flag at-risk events early, and apply the same scoring logic across batch exports and real-time evaluation. ## When to Use Invoke this skill when the user asks to: - Classify or tier a set of events by performance - Score events against KPI benchmarks or targets - Flag underperforming or at-risk events in a portfolio - Build a reusable rubric for evaluating event health - Segment events for prioritization, resourcing, or intervention - Rank events and explain why each landed where it did ## Inputs Required Before starting, collect: - **Event dataset**: One or more events with their metrics (table, list, or single record — batch or one-off) - **KPIs to evaluate**: Which metrics define performance (e.g., attendance rate, GMV, conversion, NPS, refund rate) - **Benchmarks or targets**: Per-KPI target values, tier thresholds, or historical baselines to score against - **KPI weights**: Relative importance of each KPI (if omitted, apply equal weighting and note it) - **Event type/segment**: Category, region, or size class — so events are scored against comparable peers - **Direction of each KPI**: Whether higher is better (GMV) or lower is better (refund rate, no-show rate) - **Tier count and names**: If the user has a preferred scheme; otherwise default to 5 tiers below If benchmarks are missing, derive relative thresholds from the dataset's own distribution (percentiles) and clearly state that classification is relative, not absolute. ## Instructions ### Step 1: Normalize and Validate Inputs Prepare the data before scoring: - Confirm every event has values for the required KPIs; flag events with missing fields and score them on available KPIs only (mark as "partial data") - Normalize each KPI to a 0–100 subscore against its benchmark: - **Higher-is-better**: subscore = min(100, actual / target × 100) - **Lower-is-better**: subscore = min(100, target / actual × 100) - **Percentile-based** (no benchmark): rank the value within the dataset and map to 0–100 - Cap subscores at 100 so a single overperforming KPI can't mask weakness elsewhere ### Step 2: Apply the Weighted Scoring Rubric Compute a composite score per event: - Composite = Σ (KPI subscore × KPI weight) / Σ weights - Round to one decimal; retain the KPI-level subscores for the rationale - Ensure weights sum to 1.0 (or normalize them); state the weighting used ### Step 3: Assign Performance Tier Map composite scores to tiers. Default 5-tier scheme (override if the user supplied one): - **Elite (90–100)**: Top performers exceeding targets across most KPIs — replicate and protect - **Strong (75–89.9)**: Consistently above benchmark with minor gaps — optimize the margins - **Steady (60–74.9)**: Meeting core expectations, mixed KPI profile — monitor and nudge - **Underperforming (40–59.9)**: Missing benchmarks on key weighted KPIs — intervene - **At-Risk (0–39.9)**: Failing across weighted KPIs — escalate or evaluate for retirement Apply an **override rule**: if any single KPI weighted above 0.30 scores below 30, cap the tier at Underperforming regardless of composite — a critical failure shouldn't be averaged away. ### Step 4: Write Per-Event Rationale For each event, produce: - Composite score and assigned tier - The 1–2 KPIs pulling the score up and the 1–2 pulling it down (with subscores) - Any override or partial-data flag triggered ### Step 5: Attach Tier-Specific Actions Recommend the standard next move for each event based on its tier: - **Elite**: Document what's working; use as a benchmark template for peers - **Strong**: Identify the single lagging KPI and set a targeted improvement goal - **Steady**: Watch the weakest KPI; re-evaluate next cycle - **Underperforming**: Diagnose the failing weighted KPI and assign an intervention owner - **At-Risk**: Escalate immediately — decide within the cycle whether to fix or sunset ### Step 6: Summarize the Portfolio Provide a distribution rollup: count and percentage of events per tier, the highest and lowest composite scores, and any systemic pattern (e.g., "all At-Risk events share low conversion"). ## Output Format - **Structure**: Classification table (one row per event) followed by per-event rationale, a tier distribution summary, and the reusable rubric definition - **Length**: Scales with dataset — ~40–80 words of rationale per event, plus a 100–150 word portfolio summary - **Format**: Table for the classification results; short structured bullets for rationale and actions; a compact rubric block at the end - **Sections**: Classification Table → Per-Event Rationale & Actions → Portfolio Distribution → Reusable Scoring Rubric - **Tone**: Analyst-precise and decisive — every tier assignment is justified by numbers, no hedging ## Quality Checklist Before delivering output, verify: - [ ] Every event in the input received a composite score and a tier (count matches input) - [ ] Weights used are stated and sum to 1.0 (or were normalized) - [ ] Each rationale names the specific KPIs driving the score up and down — not "performed well overall" - [ ] The single-KPI override rule was checked and applied where triggered - [ ] Partial-data or missing-KPI events are flagged, not silently scored as zero - [ ] The portfolio summary reports exact per-tier counts and the score range ## Notes - The rubric is the reusable asset — deliver it in a form the analyst can re-apply to next month's export or wire into a real-time evaluation without re-deriving thresholds - Always score events against comparable peers; a small regional event and a flagship shouldn't share the same absolute GMV benchmark unless the user insists - When benchmarks are absent, percentile-based scoring is fine for triage but tells you rank, not health — label it clearly so tiers aren't misread as absolute performance - Recommend re-running the classifier on a fixed cadence so tier movement (an event slipping from Steady to Underperforming) becomes an early warning signal --- ## How to use this skill This file is a Claude Code skill in [Anthropic's standard format](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/skills) — markdown with YAML frontmatter at the top. **Installing in Claude Code:** - `~/.claude/skills//SKILL.md` — auto-loads in every session anywhere on your machine (recommended for skills you'll use across multiple projects) - `/.claude/skills//SKILL.md` — auto-loads only when working in that project (recommended for project-specific skills) Restart Claude Code or open a new session to register. **Using in Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Gemini, or other AI tools:** 1.
