Weighted average scoring using the five star rating system

When assessing candidates during recruiting processes, evaluating new investment projects or evaluating sales leads there are usually multiple aspects that our team needs to rate separately (in investment case for example team, technology, business model, traction etc.). I see that I can create multiple five star rating fields which is good. But I can't currently aggregate these ratings into a single "summary score". So it would be great if five star ratings could be also used as inputs in calculation fields. That would enable us to calculate the summary score, use weighted average scoring and do other cool stuff with the ratings. Are there any plans to develop the five star rating system further and add more flexibility to it?

  You can use the calculated fields to create a summary score. I use multiple "Category" fields in the app template with values 1-5 and sum all the values in those fields to come up with a summary score.

  Thanks. I ended up solving it in a similar way. It is a bit clumsy as I need to have separate lines for each team member who is supposed to rate a project but it works.
