Overview

The Trade Grade Leaderboard ranks your trade partners by how closely their completed tasks finished on schedule over the last 30, 60, and 90 days. It surfaces the partners who consistently hit their dates and the ones whose work tends to slip, so you can recognize strong performers and have informed conversations with the rest. Grades update on demand from your live task data — there is no waiting for an overnight refresh.

How rankings are determined

Each grade is based on drift: the number of working days between a task's due date and the date it was actually completed. Finishing a task early produces negative drift, finishing on the due date is zero, and finishing late produces positive drift. For every trade partner, the leaderboard averages the drift of all tasks they completed inside each rolling window — the last 30 days, the last 60 days, and the last 90 days — to produce three separate grades.

Lower drift is better, so the displayed grade is the inverted average (a partner who averaged 2 working days late shows as -2.0; a partner who averaged 1 day early shows as 1.0). The progress bar next to each grade uses the raw drift to color-code performance: 0–4 working days late shows green, 4–12 days late shows yellow, and anything beyond 12 days late shows red. A red warning triangle appears once average drift reaches 20 working days late, flagging partners whose schedule slip has crossed into a problem range.

What you'll see

On desktop, the page shows a sortable table with five columns: Name, Trade, 30 Day Grade, 60 Day Grade, and 90 Day Grade. Click any column header to sort by it; rows with no data for a given grade column are always anchored at the bottom regardless of sort direction. By default the table sorts ascending by the 30-day grade. Trade partners with no completed tasks across all three windows are hidden from the table and reported in the footer, along with the timestamp of the underlying task data.

On mobile, the leaderboard collapses to a single list with a segmented control at the top to pick the 30-, 60-, or 90-day window and a button to flip the sort direction. Only partners with data for the selected window appear; the rest are counted in the footer note.

Clicking or tapping any row navigates to that trade partner's detail page, where you can drill into the underlying tasks driving the grade.

Tips for improving your trade grade

• Update task completion dates promptly. Drift is calculated from the date a task was marked complete, so late entry of an on-time finish will pull a grade down unfairly.

• Set realistic due dates up front. A pattern of small slips across many tasks moves a grade more than one or two large misses, so accurate scheduling pays off across the whole window.

• Review the 30-day grade weekly. It reacts fastest to recent changes — use it to confirm that a process change is actually moving the needle before judging the 60- and 90-day trends.

• Drill into red-flagged partners first. Click into any partner with a warning triangle to see which specific tasks are driving the average drift, and focus the conversation there.
