The standard

How the scoring works

Every item is checked against the same five gates. Only information stated in the item receives credit. Clear writing can still leave important decisions unanswered.

    Scores

    ScoreLabelMeaning
    0MissingThe item does not address this gate.
    1Needs clarificationThe gate is addressed, but the team would still need to guess or ask.
    2ClearThe description provides usable information for this gate.

    Verdict

    ScoresVerdictWhy
    Any gate is 0Not readyAt least one gate is missing.
    No 0s, at least one 1Needs workAll gates are addressed, but some still need clarification.
    Every gate is 2ReadyAll five gates meet the clarity standard.

    The verdict is calculated from the five scores by the fixed rule above, not chosen by the AI. There is no total out of ten: a strong gate cannot make up for a missing one. A strong write-up cannot talk its way into a pass.

    The tool checks the description, not the world. It does not verify claims, judge whether the idea is valuable, or confirm that the work is feasible, approved, or safe to release. Confirm the findings with your team.
