Support Context
Why this answer matters
This FAQ is sourced directly from our support database. It helps teams deploy GPSController faster, reduce onboarding friction, and understand platform compatibility for real-world fleet operations.
Answer summary
If the scorecard still shows clean scores after three months while incidents remain flat, internal adjustments are insufficient. Managers should redesign score weightings using raw telemetry patterns rather than pre-set industry benchmarks....
