# Competency Models

Competency Models, also known as ontologies, are the main tool behind the Scoring Feedback feature. They define the user attributes, skills, and scoring structure used to evaluate learner performance during a simulation. This allows a simulation to connect user actions to measurable skills and produce consistent performance ratings and skill mastery percentages.

Any and all available Competency Models can be found through SimGenie. **Access to features regarding Competency Models requires internal permissions that are only granted upon request**. If you would like to request access to the Competency Models feature, contact SimInsights for support.

Competency Models rely on SimGenie, Hyperskill, and the Dashboard together to fully function. Models are created and managed in SimGenie, deployed in Hyperskill to power scoring inside simulations, and the resulting scores and session data are reviewed in the Dashboard. See the [SimGenie](/scoring-and-feedback/competency-models/simgenie.md), [Hyperskill](/scoring-and-feedback/competency-models/hyperskill.md), and [Dashboard](/scoring-and-feedback/competency-models/dashboard.md) Competency Models pages to learn more about how Competency Models fit into each platform.
