misrates
Judges worth poorly
Misrates is the third-person singular of misrate, meaning to rate incorrectly—assigning the wrong value, classification, or assessment to something.
Insurance companies misrate policies when they charge premiums that don't match the actual risk: The insurer misrates young drivers by ignoring their clean records.
The error can go either direction—too high or too low.
