Grading
How grading works
Code checks the facts. AI judges the look and the words. People's votes decide the leaderboard.
The grade
Five tiers, S to D
- ExceptionalAbout 1 in 20.
- StrongStands out.
- SolidThe most common grade.
- WeakWorks, says little.
- Needs workHard to tell who you are.
The AI makes the call, with the facts in front of it. No S+: S is the top.
