Challenge rows appear only after at least 5 saved attempts. User names, emails, project payloads and IP addresses are never included.
The backend recomputes every score from bounded inputs. A browser cannot submit its own pass state, score or PID performance metrics.
The aggregates are available as CSV and JSON under CC BY 4.0. Cite and link to this methodology page when reusing the dataset.
Methodology
Population. Authenticated attempts saved after a learner runs a supported public industrial lab. Anonymous runs are deliberately excluded because they cannot be deduplicated or attached to durable training evidence.
Pass rate. The percentage of attempts meeting the challenge’s fixed acceptance criteria. PID scores are continuous and also require stability and final-error limits; protocol and measurement exercises use explicit checks.
Limitations. This is product-usage data, not a representative survey of every automation learner. Challenge mix, returning learners and curriculum changes can shift the aggregate. Raw personal attempts are not published.

Direct answer
The reader can convert a broad competency into observable tasks, scoring criteria, changed cases and evidence that supports development decisions.
Written for training managers, instructors and employers defining practical standards for PLC, electrical, instrumentation, motor, network and troubleshooting skills.
Role and level, work context, prerequisite safety, task, initial state, independence, time boundary, observable outcome, rubric, evidence and transfer requirement.
Job analysis through competency statement, representative task, controlled attempt, observable result, explanation, assessor decision and remediation.
One normal task completed independently and defended against a changed condition with consistent scoring.
Ambiguous requirement, accessibility need, partial success, coaching, unfamiliar interface, hidden fault, time pressure and retest.
A benchmark, task, rubric, assessor, evidence, fairness, identity, transfer or physical-practice gap.
Benchmark results calibrated between assessors and combined with supervised equipment evidence and workplace performance.
It is a defined performance standard connecting a job-relevant task, conditions, observable outcome, scoring rule and evidence—not just a list of topics.
Score system behavior, reasoning, safe decisions, diagnosis and recovery against declared criteria, with accommodations and physical competence assessed separately.
