Azure pronunciation/fluency assessment for non-native english speaker

I am using azure speech's fluency assessment. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-in/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/how-to-pronunciation-assessment?pivots=programming-language-python

My questions is: the scoring returned keeping a native english speaker as reference. Is there a way to create score keeping a non-native english speaker in mind?

Wouldn't that just be lower scores across the board? - Nick.McDermaid
@Nick.McDermaid not always there are those that are non-native but speak very good english. folks like them should not penalised - Anuj Gupta
Then they would get a good score? I'm probably missing the point here. - Nick.McDermaid
ideally yes but thats not what is happening! - Anuj Gupta

Anuj. Do you mind sharing an example audio from the non-native speaker, which is good but still having low score?
