The **Rule Scorecard** step enables you to define multiple rules within a workflow and assign individual risk scores to each. Scores range from **-100** (low risk) to **100** (high risk), with the final score calculated as the sum of all rules that evaluate as **true** based on their conditions.

For example, you can create rules to detect whether a device is using Tor, a risky network, a rooted device, or a proxy. Each rule is assigned a specific risk score, and once defined, these rules become available for use in subsequent steps.

This functionality allows you to prioritize risk factors effectively and fine-tune decision-making by adjusting rule scores to align with your risk assessment strategy.

## Configure a Rule Score Card  
1. Select the step from the workflow.
2. In the **Scorecard Name** field, enter a name for the scorecard.
3. Configure your first score rule:
   - Enter a name for the rule.
   - Assign a **score** to the rule within the range of **-100** to **100**.
   - Optionally, assign **tags** to categorize the rule.
   - Define the **conditions** that must be met for the rule to evaluate as **true**.

- **Important:** The score and tags are only applied if the rule evaluates to **true**.
4. Click **Add New Score Rule** to create another rule.
5. Specify the **output field** where the total score will be stored. You can reference this field in subsequent steps.
6. Click **Close** after configuring all the rules. The scorecard will be saved automatically.

## Using the Rule Scorecard in subsequent steps  
- The **final score** is the sum of all rule scores where the rule evaluated as **true**.
- This score can be:
  - Referenced in **Condition steps** (e.g., “if score ≥ 50 then flag as high risk”).
  - Passed into other steps for further evaluation or tagging.

## Best practices  
- **Prioritize high-risk rules**: Assign higher scores to critical risk factors so high-risk cases are reliably flagged.
- **Use tags for organization**: Categorize rules with tags to clarify their purpose and align them with your risk management strategy.
- **Test and validate**: Run tests with sample data to confirm that rules evaluate correctly and scores are calculated as expected.
- **Be explicit about conditions**: A rule’s score is only added to the total if its condition evaluates to **true**.
- **Combining multiple scorecards**: If you use more than one Rule Scorecard in the same workflow, you can combine their results into a single workflow score by adding a **Transformation step** and applying the **SUM** function.
