# Autonomous Scoring

Autonomous scoring works even if there is no baseline. It can work on a single file, i.e., only on v2 log files. Autonomous scoring works based on the following factors:

* Autonomous scoring is ideal for scenarios where you only have the v2 log files but it will also work if you have both v1 and v2 logs.
* Hence, Autonomous scoring will also work if no v1 log file is provided.
* Score reduction is done only on clusters that are unique to v2 logs.
* Clusters belonging to v1 logs are ignored for score reduction.
* Score reduction is normalized by the total number of unexpected clusters in v2 and v1v2.
* Score Reduction is higher at higher sensitivity levels.
* Score Reduction is higher for clusters with higher criticality.
* By default, autonomous scoring will give a score of 0 (fail) whenever there is a critical error.

To set the **Autonomous Scoring Algorithm** follow the steps below:

Users can select the Autonomous Scoring algorithm while creating a "[**Log Template**](https://docs.opsmx.com/opsmx-intelligent-software-delivery-isd-platform-argo/user-guide/manage-analysis/templates/log-template)". Users can set the Autonomous Scoring algorithm after creating an application.

If you haven’t created an application already, click [**here**](https://docs.opsmx.com/opsmx-intelligent-software-delivery-isd-platform-argo/user-guide/manage-application/create-application). 

To know more about how to create a Log Template, refer [**here**](https://docs.opsmx.com/opsmx-intelligent-software-delivery-isd-platform-argo/user-guide/manage-analysis/templates/log-template).

1. From the application dashboard, click "**Setup**" and click “**Analysis Templates**” and then click "**+New Template**" button.<br>
