OralBoardScore is the digital scoring platform for police promotional oral boards — every panelist's score, written rationale, and submission timestamp, in one defensible record.
The document your paper process never produced
OralBoardScore gives every panelist a simple scoring interface on any device — no login required, just a link. Each panelist independently scores each candidate on your chosen dimensions, records a written rationale for each score, and submits. You get a live dashboard as scores come in.
When the board is done, you have a complete, timestamped, attorney-ready record of how every panelist scored every candidate — and a ranked eligible list that reflects the official civil service weights you set.
Nobody designed your process to survive an appeal
Every police department runs oral boards. Most run them on paper scoring sheets collected by hand and averaged in a spreadsheet. Nobody designed that process to survive a civil service appeal. They designed it to run the promotion.
When a passed-over candidate's attorney demands the scoring record — every panelist's score for every candidate, every criterion, every written rationale, with timestamps — you need a document, not a folder of handwritten sheets.
Most departments never have to produce that document. Some do. The ones that do know exactly what we're talking about.
“A candidate's attorney called the day after we posted the list. She wanted the scoring record. We had paper sheets and a spreadsheet.”
Two panelists give the same candidate completely different scores on the same criterion, and nobody wrote down why. Twenty years of running it this way also means twenty years of hoping the question never comes.
A list and a record, from the same board
Your oral board already works. OralBoardScore changes what it leaves behind — from a folder of handwritten sheets into a document that answers the question an attorney is going to ask.
Ten minutes to set up. One document at the end.
First promotional process free — no payment until your second
Run a real board end to end — real candidates, real panelists, real eligible list — before you pay anything. No card, no procurement cycle, no pilot agreement.

For departments that promote once or twice a year. Pay for the board you're running, nothing in between.
$999per year, unlimited processes
For departments running boards for multiple ranks across the year — sergeant, lieutenant, and detective processes on one plan.
Built for departments that run their own boards
If you are the person who would have to produce the scoring record — and today that means a folder of handwritten sheets and a spreadsheet — OralBoardScore was built for you.
Not an HR system. Not a testing vendor.
A department that has survived one civil service appeal on paper scores already knows what this costs — in legal fees, in delayed promotions, and in the months a senior administrator spends explaining a process that was never designed to be explained.
A department that hasn't yet is one promotion board away from finding out.
