Blind Evaluation

Blind Evaluation allows Challenge Managers to elect to hide evaluation submissions from evaluators, even after they submit their own evaluation to prevent bias in the evaluation.

With this option, evaluation within a Challenge can be either:

• Standard evaluation: all evaluators can view other evaluation submissions after they have submitted their own evaluation.
• Blink evaluation : evaluators will not be able to view other evaluations even after they submit their evaluation so they are not influenced by other evaluators to edit their submission. Admins, Challenge Managers and Lead Evaluators will still be able to view all evaluations so they can make informed evaluation decisions.

Enabling Blind Evaluation

The Blind Evaluation option is available for all Challenges on the Challenge Builder > General > Configuration tab under the Workflow section.

The setting Turn on blind evaluation is defaulted to OFF and applies to all stages where Submit Evaluation = ON.

• Navigate to Challenge Builder > General > Challenge configuration tab under the Workflow section.
• Toggle on Turn on blind evaluation
• Save challenge
• Blind evaluation will now apply to all stages where Submit Evaluation is enabled.
