Introduction

Share Of Model Scoring connects the creative library in Pencil Pro with the Share of Model™ platform. It helps you streamline the creative evaluation workflow by automatically requesting Share of Model (SoM) Asset Evaluation Scores directly from Pencil.

This powerful integration simplifies the scoring process and provides seamless insights without leaving your Pencil workspace.

What is Share Of Model Scoring in Pencil Pro?

How to Configure Share of Model - Step by Step:

Step 1: Request the Share Of Model API Token
Before activating the integration, a Share Of Model API token must be generated.

  • Confirm that the client has an active SoM workspace

  • Request the API token from the dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM) or use the Slack channel #ask-us if unsure who to contact

  • This token identifies the workspace, tracks analysis usage, and stores the results

Step 2: Connect Share of Model to Pencil

  • Go to Settings > Scores in Pencil

  • Under Share of Model, click Connect

  • Paste the API token

  • Select the matching Organization and Workspace

  • Confirm to activate the integration

Step 3 – Launch a Share Of Model Scoring Request
From the Pencil creative library:

  • Select a creative to evaluate (image, video, or text-based)

  • Click Request Share Of Model Score

  • A form appears with the following fields:

    • Brand name

    • Category (e.g. “Luxury skincare”)

    • Attributes: Select 3 to 6 (e.g. “Trust”, “Expertise”, “Innovation”)

    • (Optional) Persona (e.g. “Eco-conscious 40-year-old female”)

Step 4 – View the Score in Pencil

  • Once processed, a summary score appears in Pencil

  • Includes breakdowns on:

    • Attribute alignment

    • Visual and textual representation

    • Suggestions for improvement

Step 5 (optional) – Access the Full Report in SoM

  • A full analysis entry is created in the connected SoM workspace

  • Open the workspace in SoM to explore full dashboards with LLM scoring, visual heatmaps, and perception charts

Step 6 (optional) – Manage Share Of Model Credit

  • Each scoring request deducts 1 analysis credit from the workspace quota

  • Credit usage is visible within the client's workspace in SoM

  • If needed, additional credits can be requested via the assigned CSM
