CPQ Assessor & Supervisor Eligibility and Calibration Standard
Assessor eligibility criteria, training and periodic inter-assessor consistency calibration.
1. Eligibility Requirements
- At least an active CPQ-T3 credential.
- 5 years documented practice since first credentialing.
- Completion of CPQ-approved assessor training.
- No active recorded ethical violation.
- Annual conflict-of-interest declaration.
2. Training & Calibration
Training covers the rubric, critical-fail rules, assessment bias and assessor-candidate ethics. Approved assessor status lasts two years. Calibration includes annual sessions, random double-scoring of at least 10%, score-consistency review and monitoring appeal-success rates.
3. Suspension or Removal
Assessor status is suspended or withdrawn for persistent consistency deviation, confirmed ethical breach or undisclosed conflict, under CPQ-ECR.
4. Transitional Founding Assessor Rule — v111 Addendum
Proposed transitional policy for review: before a sufficient pool of CPQ-T3 holders exists, the Credentials & Assessment Committee may appoint a time-limited Founding Assessor who demonstrates at least five years of documented coaching/assessment experience, completes assessor training, passes independent calibration and discloses all conflicts. The exception expires when a sufficient operational T3 pool exists or 24 months after scheme activation, whichever comes first.
