DCMA tests are like separate exams, and it's tricky to measure how good a schedule is by looking at 14 different tests. That's why we use a special formula to figure out an overall project score—it makes it easier to talk about.
At the beginning, the project score is always 100. But as we find issues with DCMA rules, we subtract some points, and the score goes down from there.

We use the DCMA table to figure out letter grades.
This table shows percentages and grades, making it easy to understand. It helps us see how good the project is and where we need to improve.
