Prompt Response Accuracy Calculator

Quantify response quality with weighted partial credit. Track accuracy, error rate, and confidence bounds. Export clear reports for fast iteration.

Calculator Inputs

Sum of all evaluated prompts.
Fully correct outputs.
Useful but incomplete outputs.
Wrong or unusable outputs.
0.50 means half credit for partial.
Optional acceptance gate for outputs.
Used for mean and variability notes.

Formula used

  • Weighted Correct = Correct + (Partial × Weight)
  • Accuracy = Weighted Correct ÷ Total
  • Error Rate = 1 − Accuracy
  • 95% Confidence Interval uses Wilson score on the accuracy proportion.
Tip: Keep labels consistent across teams for comparable results.

How to use this calculator

  1. Run a test set of prompts and record outcomes.
  2. Classify each response: correct, partial, or incorrect.
  3. Choose a partial weight matching your rubric.
  4. Submit to view accuracy, error rate, and bounds.
  5. Export CSV or PDF to share and track trends.

Measurement discipline for prompt accuracy

Reliable accuracy reporting starts with a fixed evaluation set and a consistent rubric. Separate prompt families by intent, such as safety, reasoning, retrieval, and tool use, because each group carries different failure modes. Track the proportion of correct, partially correct, and incorrect outputs, then apply a documented partial credit weight so teams interpret “good enough” the same way across releases.

Weighted scoring reflects real utility

Binary scoring can hide meaningful improvements when responses are mostly helpful but incomplete. Weighted accuracy treats partial answers as fractional wins, improving sensitivity without inflating performance. For example, giving 0.50 weight to partial outputs increases signal when outputs contain correct structure yet miss a constraint, citation, or unit conversion. This calculator converts those counts into a single comparable percentage.

Confidence bounds reduce overconfidence

A single accuracy value can mislead when sample sizes are small. The built in 95% interval uses a Wilson score approach to estimate the plausible range of true accuracy. As total prompts rise, the interval narrows, letting you distinguish meaningful change from noise. Use the interval when comparing models, prompt templates, or retrieval configurations across experiments.

Acceptance thresholds and risk tradeoffs

Many production systems gate answers using a confidence score, refusal policy, or verification step. Raising the minimum threshold typically reduces risky outputs but may lower coverage. Recording an acceptance rate alongside accuracy clarifies the tradeoff between quality and throughput. When accuracy is high but acceptance is low, users may experience delays, extra turns, or fewer completed tasks.

Reporting cadence and actionable breakdowns

Operational accuracy improves fastest when metrics are reviewed on a steady cadence with drill downs. Export CSV for dashboards and PDF for reviews, then segment by prompt category, language, and difficulty. Monitor drift by re running the same set after model updates and by adding fresh prompts that reflect current user behavior. Pair the metric with error taxonomy notes to guide prompt, policy, and data fixes. Include inter-rater checks to keep labeling stable, and store representative examples for each class. When partial credit changes, backfill prior runs for continuity. Over time, the metric becomes a compact contract between product goals and model behavior clearly.

FAQs

What should count as a partially correct response?

Use partial when the answer is useful but misses at least one required element, such as a constraint, a step, a unit, or a key fact. Document examples so labelers apply the rule consistently.

How do I choose the partial credit weight?

Pick a weight that matches real user value. If partial answers usually need a small fix, use 0.7–0.9. If they are only a starting point, use 0.3–0.6. Keep the weight stable during comparisons.

Why is the confidence interval important?

It shows uncertainty from limited samples. Two models with close accuracy can be statistically indistinguishable when the interval is wide. Larger prompt sets narrow the interval and improve decision confidence.

Can I compare different prompt categories together?

You can, but also report per category. Aggregates hide where failures concentrate, such as safety or tool usage. Category breakdowns guide targeted improvements and prevent regressions in high risk areas.

What does the acceptance estimate represent?

It approximates how many outputs pass a confidence gate. In production, acceptance is set by policies, verification, or thresholds. Track it alongside accuracy to understand the quality versus coverage tradeoff.

How often should I rerun the evaluation?

Rerun after model, retrieval, or policy changes, and on a regular cadence like weekly. Keep a stable core set for trend lines, and add a small rotating set to capture new user patterns.
