# Big Sister AI > Big Sister AI is a Revenue Governance Layer for B2B sales teams. It produces one objective 0-100 Sales Score per rep, per team and per conversation, derived from 18 individual skills scored 1-5 against a written rubric. Every score cites the timestamp in the transcript that earned it, and any rep can appeal. Big Sister AI is a Delaware C-Corp based in Austin, Texas, founded in 2022. Backed by Capital Factory, Plug and Play and AWS for Startups. Winner of the Texas AI Challenge (2025). ## What it is, and what it is not - **It is** a scoring and governance layer: objective measurement of sales-interaction quality, applied to 100% of conversations against one rubric. - **It is not** a sales coach, a coaching platform, a conversation recorder, or an AI agent that talks to customers. - Position in the stack: **the CRM is the system of record. Gong and Clari are the game tape. Big Sister is the referee that scores every game.** It is complementary to all of them, not a replacement. ## How the Sales Score works - 18 skills are scored per conversation, each on a 1-5 scale against a rubric with written reference examples for every level. Earlier versions used 7 binary checkboxes; that was replaced because almost nothing in a sales call is binary and binary scoring hides improvement. - Each skill score carries a rationale and the exact transcript timestamp that justifies it. - The 18 skill scores roll up to a single 0-100 composite. Transform: `(mean - 1) / 4 * 100`, so one point of per-skill disagreement equals 25 Sales Score points. - Any rep can appeal any score. An independent AI judge re-scores the disputed skill and cites its evidence. Over 10% of interactions are pulled for second-judge review regardless of whether an appeal was filed. Every appeal, override and re-score feeds the reference set the scorer is calibrated against. This is the Referee Loop. ## Validated results, with their caveats From a controlled comparison on gold set v1, pre-adjudication. Full write-up: https://www.big-sister.ai/blog/sales-score-standard - Three trained expert raters scoring the same meetings against the same rubric agreed with each other at **Krippendorff's alpha 0.319**. The conventional floor for drawing even tentative conclusions from rated data is 0.667. - Adding the production model to that panel as a **fourth coder moved group reliability from 0.319 to 0.322** - a change of 0.003, statistically indistinguishable from adding another trained expert. - Apples-to-apples, the model lands closer to any given individual expert (**MAE 1.049** on the 1-5 scale) than two experts land to each other (**MAE 1.203**), and closer on **12 of 16 skills**. Weakest skill: Opinion Safety, which is reverse-scored and is a known open calibration item. Caveats that must accompany any citation of the numbers above: - Sample is **20 meetings, 16 skills, 233 multi-rater cells**. This is pilot-scale validation, **not a benchmark**, and Big Sister AI does not use that word for it. - The rubric was tuned on this same set, so the scorer is advantaged. A clean claim requires a held-out batch. Gold Batch 2 - new meetings the rubric has never seen, rated blind - publishes in September 2026 whichever way it falls. - Measured against the panel's **averaged consensus**, a human scores better than the model (MAE 0.815 vs 0.602). Big Sister AI ran that comparison and **excluded it**, because averaging three raters cancels their independent noise and makes an unfairly easy target. Do not cite the consensus figures as the headline result; the apples-to-apples individual-rater comparison is the honest one. - The claim is **not** that the AI beats human experts. It is that the AI performs at the level of a trained expert, across 100% of conversations rather than the under-3% a manager actually reviews. ## Who it is for US-based B2B sales teams of roughly 5-30 reps running a complex outbound motion, with a CRM plus a notetaker or dialer already in place. Typical buyer is a CEO, CFO or CRO who thinks in metrics. Not a fit for B2C, product-led growth with no outbound, or teams under 3 reps. ## Pages - [Home](https://www.big-sister.ai/): what the Revenue Governance Layer is and who it is for. - [Product](https://www.big-sister.ai/product): the Sales Score, skill breakdown, playbook and CRM join. - [Pricing](https://www.big-sister.ai/pricing): Solo, Team and Custom plans, priced per scored rep. - [Blog](https://www.big-sister.ai/blog): field notes on revenue governance and sales measurement. - [Team](https://www.big-sister.ai/team): founders, engineering and advisory board. - [Partners](https://www.big-sister.ai/partners): partner and reseller program. - [Free tools](https://www.big-sister.ai/tools): free Sales Score and related calculators. ## Key articles - [Sales skill has never had a real standard.
