We recently added a field in Schema 1.4 to record a "cutoff_score".[1] The field reflects the minimum score that a Capability needs to achieve for a given Guideline in order to warrant inclusion. The current draft Guideline, however, hasn't yet been updated to include a cutoff score. This patch adds a cutoff_score field to next.json and sets it to a preliminary vale of 74 (which is indicative of the score we've used in the past as a cutoff, but which can be changed by the DefCore Committee any time between now and when the Guideline goes to the Board for approval before it becomes binding). The patch also updates the tabulate_scores.py script to read the cutoff_score from the JSON document and adds an asterisk (*) to lines in the scoring file whose totals meet or exceed the cutoff as a visual indicator of which Capabilities have scored highly enough to warrant inclusion in the Guideline. Verbage in the header of the scoring.txt file has also been updated to reflect the meaning of the indicator. The patch also adds the cutoff_score field to the 2016.01 document, where it was inadvertently left off since the field was only added to the schema in close proximity to the document being finalized for Board approval.
