Ordered pair score card metrics
Merged
Currently each score card metric has to be an integer that's mathematically understandable. However, often we have priority information that is more textual for which an integer value can be assigned. For example, in the following table we have two metrics Strategic Alignment and Customer Experience. As you can see the values are descriptive and hence understandable. For each descriptive value, system can assign a numeric value for score calculation. This would make the prioritization sessions more engaging and automated. Without this even if we capture descriptive values in a custom field, the score has to be manually adjusted.
Metric Values

Strategic Alignment High (2), Medium(1), Low(0)

Ability to format a score value for reports
Scores are number based, but in our scorecard the numbers are used as a scale. For example 1,2,3 may be High,Medium,Low.
We'd like to have the ability to set a string value for the score and use that in reports instead of the raw number.

Future consideration
Agreed, this also makes the scorecard much more understandable to those not directly involved in determining how the scores are calculated. People understand High vs Medium vs Low a lot better than they understand 3,2,1
