How this works and common questions

About this tool

Each answer has a rating from 1 to 5. The average is half up to two decimals. A starting point, not legal advice. Saved on this device only.

How it works

You record the same questions, the answer, and a rating from 1 to 5. The average divides the sum by the number of ratings and rounds half up to two decimals. 4, 5, and 3 are 12 divided by 3, which is 4.00. 5, 5, and 4 are 14 divided by 3, which is 4.666…, shown as 4.67.
