# Cluster Quality

>  Cluster Quality evaluates how well a clustering algorithm has grouped your data. It calculates metrics like the Silhouette Score, which measures how similar each point is to its own cluster compared to other clusters.

A higher quality score indicates that clusters are well-separated and internally cohesive. 

<Note>
  Use Cluster Quality **after** running a clustering algorithm to verify the results. If the score is low, try adjusting the number of clusters or switching to a different clustering method. Combine with the **K-Finder** node to find the optimal number of clusters.
