Democratic Labour Party assessment engine

One DLP workspace for assessing MPs, comparing candidates, and screening new prospects.

This platform is a candidate assessment and comparison tool for the DLP, with two evaluation modes for reviewing existing contenders and screening new prospects. It saves assessment sessions, ranks candidates, presents clear analytics on strengths, risks, and readiness, and serves as the assessment foundation for the wider campaign management platform supporting the SK engagement.

Scoring form

Editable 21-candidate matrix

The scoring workspace is now organized into a roster editor and criterion lanes, keeping all 21 candidates on screen without forcing a side-to-side table scroll.
