1. Purpose
Role Scoring addresses the evaluation of righteousness as expressed through specific roles. It answers the question: To what extent does this individual fulfill their role responsibilities in a righteous manner?
This standard establishes the scoring methodologies for assessing role-specific criteria, role performance, and role-specific scoring patterns, extending from the role structures defined in Layer 4A.
2. Scope
This standard applies to all formal and informal roles defined within the RSS, including:
- Universal Roles – applicable to all individuals (e.g., parent, spouse, employee, supervisor, citizen, community member).
- Domain-Specific Roles – applicable within specific institutional domains (e.g., police officer, teacher, physician, soldier, insurance agent, financial advisor).
This standard is universally applicable across all contexts in which role-specific righteousness is to be evaluated.
3. Normative References
The following documents are indispensable for the application of this standard:
- RSS 37001:2026 – Fundamentals Standard (Layer 1)
- RSS 37002:2026 – Foundation Standard (Layer 2)
- RSS 37003:2026 – Alignment Standard (Layer 3)
- RSS 37004:2026 – Structure Standard (Layer 4) – specifically Layer 4A (People Roles)
- RSS 37005:2026 – Process Standard (Layer 5)

- RSS 37006-6.1:2026 – Scoring Framework
- RSS 37006-6.2:2026 – People Scoring
All scoring methodologies defined in this standard shall be interpreted in a manner fully consistent with the axioms, foundational components, alignment principles, structural definitions, process standards, and individual scoring criteria established in the referenced documents.
4. Core Content
Role Scoring consists of three normative components:
4.1 Role-Specific Criteria
Every role carries its own distinct righteousness expectations, derived from the integration of universal RSS requirements with role-specific structural and process definitions.
Role-specific criteria shall be derived from:
| Source | Contribution to Role Criteria |
|---|---|
| Layer 1 – Axioms | Provides the foundational truths that apply to all role performance. |
| Layer 2 – Foundational Components | Defines moral intent, ethical awareness, value consistency, responsibility ownership, and commitment to truthfulness as they apply to role conduct. |
| Layer 2 – Foundational Domains | Defines the domains (personal conduct, institutional conduct, relational justice, social responsibility, corrective action) within which roles operate. |
| Layer 3 – Alignment Requirements | Defines value alignment, behavioral alignment, structural alignment, relational alignment, and corrective alignment specific to each role. |
| Layer 4A – Role Structure | Defines the specific responsibilities, authorities, and relationships of each role. |
| Layer 5 – Role Processes | Defines the standardized processes that each role must follow to execute righteous actions. |
All role-specific criteria shall be:
- Explicit – clearly articulated for each role.
- Measurable – amenable to assessment through observable evidence.
- Consistent – applied uniformly across all individuals occupying the same role.
- Contextually appropriate – reflecting the unique responsibilities and impact of the role.
4.2 Role Performance Scoring
Role Performance Scoring evaluates the individual’s execution of their role responsibilities against the role-specific criteria.
This scoring assesses four dimensions:
| Dimension | Description |
|---|---|
| Role Fidelity | The extent to which the individual fulfills their role responsibilities in a righteous manner, adhering to the criteria, processes, and standards defined for that role. |
| Role Integrity | The consistency between the individual’s role performance and their personal virtue scores (from 6.2). Misalignment between personal virtue and role conduct indicates a righteous failure that must be addressed. |
| Role Impact | The effect of the individual’s role performance on others (colleagues, clients, community members), on the institution, and on society at large. Positive impact elevates scores; negative impact reduces them. |
| Role Improvement | The individual’s demonstrated commitment to growth, learning, and development in role-specific righteousness over time. Stagnation or decline in role performance results in lower scores. |
4.3 Role-Specific Scoring Patterns
Each role shall possess its own righteous scoring patterns, which are detailed in the individual role modules defined in Layer 4A. These patterns include, but are not limited to:
| Role | Scoring Focus Areas |
|---|---|
| Parent Scoring | Care, guidance, discipline, education, emotional support, modeling virtue, responsibility for children’s wellbeing. |
| Spouse Scoring | Fidelity, mutual respect, support, partnership, communication, shared responsibility. |
| Employee Scoring | Diligence, honesty, reliability, respect for authority, teamwork, productivity, ethical conduct. |
| Supervisor Scoring | Fairness, justice, mentorship, accountability, transparency, empowerment, conflict resolution. |
| Citizen Scoring | Compliance with law, community participation, civic responsibility, respect for public institutions, contribution to common good. |
| Community Member Scoring | Neighborly conduct, mutual aid, respect for community norms, participation in community life. |
| Domain-Specific Roles | Scoring patterns defined in the corresponding domain modules (e.g., policing, teaching, medicine, soldiering) – each with its own unique criteria, dimensions, and weightings. |
Each role-specific scoring pattern shall:
- Define the applicable criteria drawn from the sources listed in 4.1.
- Establish the scoring scale (binary, ordinal, interval, or weighted) appropriate to the role.
- Specify the verification rules for each scoring activity.
- Identify the integrity requirements necessary to ensure fair and accurate role scoring.
5. Relationship to Other Layer 6 Components
| Component | How It Relies on 6.3 |
|---|---|
| 6.1 – Scoring Framework | Provides the foundational inputs, criteria, scales, verification rules, and integrity requirements applied in all Role Scoring activities. |
| 6.2 – People Scoring | Provides the baseline individual virtue assessment that Role Scoring builds upon. Role performance scores are interpreted in light of personal virtue scores. |
| 6.4 – Domain Scoring | Role Scoring within a domain contributes to the overall domain righteousness assessment. Domain scoring aggregates role scores across all roles operating within the domain. |
| 6.5 – Composite Scoring | Role Scores are aggregated as a distinct input into composite righteousness assessments for individuals and institutions. |
