How can a score fall from 92.6 to 58. Its crazy isnt it?

The score depends more on the reviewers than on the proposal itself.

Hi everyone,
I’m only seeing an evaluation summary. No rejection letter or any other docs. Should I be seeing more documents?

Hi guys,
IF-ENV here, got 77.9 this year, got 90.1 last time for the exact same project. The reviewers' comments had been taken into consideration and the whole thing had been polished ...
My rating has dropped drastically for the Excellence part; I have more comments in strengths, but also in weaknesses, but I don't understand how it can drop like that, except for the fact that one of the reviewers decided to be really mean.
It's so infuriating and incomprehensible. European calls are a big lottery and their review system is absurd.

Okay finally got into the portal to check the score.

EF-SOC
96.80%
4.8/4.8/5.0

Ranked 1st March

Some background for context: my first time applying. I was a "late" applicant - spent about 2 months on the proposal with helpful feedback from supervisor (gave feedback twice on the content) and research advisor (gave feedback about 4 times on the technical aspects of the proposal like language, style, form, etc.) from host institution.

I've never done a postdoc before and I really only have 1 published paper on this particular field (a few are in preparation and I mentioned this in my CV). I have a few from my PhD a few years ago but that was on a different field.

A little surprised that what I thought were weaknesses in the proposal weren't picked on. Other more minor issues were raised.

Anyway, all this to say that it really is a lottery! I can tell that I got lucky with the evaluators that happened to like my project.

Wishing the best for everyone going forward!

Quite, yes. I went from 88.1 (2018) via 70 (2019) and 81.2 (2020) to 100 (now, 2021). Seeing the reviewer comments, the process is quite a lottery and you have to be lucky with the reviewers.
