This posting spells out a simple measure of evaluating how well advocates performed at the legislature. It uses 2 indicators: one places a weight or importance factor to a bill and the other reflects whether or not the bill passed or failed. Give it a try.
I use the current status of HOA bills in Arizona as an example. Feel free to adjust the weights as you see fit.

Performance rating: -0.19 (-3/16)
Rather than a simplistic ‘body count‘ of bills, I prefer an Performance Rating (PR) where weights – values – are assigned to a bill. Values from -2 to 2 are appropriate here, -2 being strongly opposed, 0 being neutral, and 2 strongly in favor. Example: take 4 bills.
Bill 1, value of 1
Bill2, value of 2
Bill3, value of 2
Bill4, value of -2
Total value 3. Divide by number of bills, 4, and PR becomes .75. If bill4 is revalued at -1, then EM becomes 1 (4/4). Take a lopsided case of -2, -2, 1, 0. This produces an PR of -.75, a real bad day at black rock. Interpretation: a number of opposed bills passed. Take another case where several bills are given a neutral value: 2,-1 0, 0 yields an PR of .25. Not good for advocacy efforts.
Weakness lies not in the PR calculation, but in getting a fair assessment of values and not assigning values to make you look good. Of course, values must be assigned beforehand or at time of an amendment.
An important aspect: Passed and failed. The value is result rated (PF) where Pass = 1 and Failed = -1. A For bill passing gets a PF of 1 and if it failed it gets a PF of -1. Similarly, an against bill gets 1 for passing and -1 for failing.
Using 2 factors allows you to assess the importance – value – of the bill and its legislative result, pass/fail. It is a much better measure of how well an advocacy campaign reached its goal of 2.
As you can well appreciate, there is a need for integrity in the rating process. If you overrate the value and the bill fails, you lose big.
HOA Constitutional Government 
The March 24th (AM) evaluation shows a dramatic drop in the Performance Rating as bills bite the dust. It is now -.89.
Rate the bills and advocacy performance yourself, and let’s do an averaging of all evaluations.
