Example Data Table

Project Total Scenarios Covered Scenarios Total Edge Cases Covered Edge Cases Total Constraints Covered Constraints Total Variants Covered Variants Critical Failures Ambiguity Cases
Prompt Test Set A 120 96 20 14 15 12 30 22 2 4
Prompt Test Set B 80 70 16 15 10 8 22 21 0 1
Safety Eval Batch 150 102 40 23 25 16 45 27 5 8

Formula Used

1) Dimension Coverage (%)

Coverage = (Covered Items / Total Items) × 100

2) Weighted Coverage (%)

Weighted Coverage = Σ(Dimension Coverage × Dimension Weight) ÷ Σ(Weights)

3) Penalties

Critical Penalty = min(30, Critical Failures × 5) and Ambiguity Penalty = min(15, Ambiguity Cases × 1.5)

4) Final Prompt Coverage Score

Final Score = clamp(Weighted Coverage − Critical Penalty − Ambiguity Penalty, 0, 100)

Operational Importance of Coverage Scoring

Prompt teams often track test cases without a clear readiness summary. A Prompt Coverage Score turns raw counts into one decision metric for release reviews. This calculator combines four dimensions of evaluation quality and subtracts risk penalties. It helps QA, product, and safety teams compare prompt versions consistently. The score also reduces subjective debate because every result is tied to explicit inputs, documented weights, and repeatable calculations. It also improves handoffs between evaluators by standardizing evidence and interpretation across teams consistently.

Core Coverage Dimensions and What They Measure

Scenario coverage measures how many common user intents are represented in testing. Edge-case coverage measures rare, adversarial, or noisy situations that usually trigger failures. Constraint coverage verifies format, policy, safety, and style requirements. Variant coverage measures robustness across paraphrases, tone changes, and context wording shifts. Reviewing all four dimensions together prevents false confidence. Strong scenario coverage alone is not enough if edge behavior and constraints are still weak.

Weighted Method for Reliable Evaluation Decisions

Weights allow the scoring model to reflect operational priorities. A regulated process may emphasize constraints, while a support workflow may favor scenarios and variants. The calculator normalizes any positive weight values automatically, so teams can enter practical numbers quickly. Weighted coverage is then reduced by critical failure and ambiguity penalties. This keeps the final score realistic and highlights reliability issues that raw coverage percentages can hide during reporting.

Interpreting Scores in Team Reporting

In practice, teams should report the final score with dimension percentages, penalties, and sample counts. A high score indicates broad and disciplined testing, but only when labels are accurate. Mid-range scores often show uneven planning, such as good baseline scenarios with weak edge coverage. Lower scores usually signal release risk and incomplete prompt governance. Use the result summary above the form to support release gates, retrospective reviews, and roadmap prioritization.

Implementation Guidance for Continuous Improvement

Use this calculator after every prompt revision, model upgrade, or policy change. Export CSV results and compare score trends by release date. If scores improve but incidents increase, expand edge cases and revise ambiguity definitions. Pair coverage scoring with latency, cost, and human review metrics for stronger decision making. Over time, teams can set threshold bands for different workflows and create predictable quality controls across prompt development lifecycles and audits for audit readiness.

FAQs

1) What does this score measure?

It measures how well your prompt tests cover scenarios, edge cases, constraints, and variants, then adjusts the score using failure and ambiguity penalties.

2) Why are weights needed?

Weights let teams reflect business risk. You can emphasize constraints for compliance workflows or scenarios and variants for customer-facing assistants.

3) What is a critical failure here?

A critical failure is a serious prompt breakdown, such as unsafe output, policy violation, invalid format, or a response that blocks task completion.

4) Can I compare different prompt versions?

Yes. Use the same counting rules and weights for each version, then compare scores and penalties to evaluate testing progress consistently.

5) Is a high score enough for launch?

No. A high score is helpful, but launch decisions should also consider production monitoring, human review, latency, cost, and incident history.

6) How often should teams recalculate coverage?

Recalculate after prompt edits, model upgrades, policy updates, or major dataset changes so your score always reflects current evaluation coverage.
