The Peerwork plugin was designed to replicate functionality of WebPA in Moodle allowing a peer weighting to be applied to assignments.
Using this plugin teachers still grade the assignment, but available marks are distributed between students based on peer ratings.

A common complaint from students working on group assignments is that all students receive the same grade regardless of the amount of individual effort / contribution.
The Peerwork plugin was designed address this by allowing teachers to grade work, but for the available marks to be distributed based on peer assessments of students contribution to the assignment. Within this plugin teachers can:
- Set up as many criteria as are needed
- Apply Moodle scales to the criteria (usually Likert)
- Apply privacy settings / visibility of peer scores and comments
- Apply a weighting to the peer element
- Require students to complete peer work
- Report activity completion based on students completion of peer review
- Give students option of leaving feedback comments (can be anonymous)
- Grade assignments (teacher)
- Modify peer weighting by group
- Override final grades where necessary
- Control visibility of peer marks and comments to other students
- Release grades for all students at the same time
- Download csv exports for entire class or individual groups
This plugin was offers an alternative to WebPA natively within Moodle.

Seems trivial, but has bad optics.
You just need to add the scale as documented here:
https://docs.moodle.org/310/en/Scales
Once added, it will be available in Peerwork settings
