The final calculations for the various performance “functions” is done in
Washington by the CJSART team. Calculation is straightforward as each
capabilities builds into a performance function, which then build into
score for that disciple. Normally the calculations are simply straight

performance capability. Thus; a country which answered “yes” for three
out of a possible five measurement indicators, might be expected to be a
Level 3 (41-60%); however, if one of the two “no” indicators was
underlined, therefore fundamental, the country would only achieve
scoring in the Level 2 category.
The possible permutations for each capability score is almost limitless;
however, below is a brief description of what assessors might expect to
see at each level:
•
Level 1 (0-20%) Country is essentially nonfunctional in this
capability area and/or progress data is totally unavailable, or the
country is not able to verify any meaningful progress in this area.
This is likely a rebuilding country or lower where broad day-to-day
developmental assistance/expertise is required to operationalize in
this measurement indicator. At the upper end of this range there
may be some minimally palpable progress of capability/concept
building demonstrated within this competency function.
•
Level 2 (21-40%) Some minimal development was observed in
capabilities in line with the required competencies, but
documentation of progress is mostly anecdotal. This is probably a
developing country where hard evidence of capacity building and
