Scoring and review process text for the sign-up page#

Evaluation method#

Final reviews will be performed by three independent AI reviewers. Each submission will be scored using the same weighted scoring matrix. Scores will be combined to determine category winners.

  • Per‑AI scoring: Each AI assigns a score from 0–10 for each rubric dimension.
  • Weighted total: Each dimension score is multiplied by its weight.
  • Final score: The three weighted totals are averaged.

Note: AI scoring is an approximation tool for consistency and scale—not a claim of objective truth.


Weighted scoring matrix#

Weights#

Dimension Weight
Coherence and internal consistency 0.22
Evidence and scientific ingredients 0.18
Reproducibility and auditability 0.14
Novelty and insight 0.14
Cross-domain synthesis 0.10
Documentation quality and navigation 0.10
Responsible AI use and attribution 0.07
Craft and completeness 0.05

Dimension definitions#

  • Coherence and internal consistency: Clear thesis, stable definitions, no contradictions, strong through-line.
  • Evidence and scientific ingredients: Uses standard ingredients where applicable (claims, references, methods, assumptions, limitations).
  • Reproducibility and auditability: Others can follow the steps, verify claims, and trace sources/decisions.
  • Novelty and insight: Non-obvious contributions, useful reframing, original synthesis, or new structure.
  • Cross-domain synthesis: Bridges domains without hand-waving; preserves meaning across translations.
  • Documentation quality and navigation: Readable, well-indexed, clear entry points, good information architecture.
  • Responsible AI use and attribution: Transparent use of AI, citations where relevant, no deceptive authorship.
  • Craft and completeness: Feels finished; scope matches execution; minimal broken links/holes.

Winner determination#

Overall placements#

  • 🥇 Best Overall Canon
  • 🥈 Second Overall
  • 🥉 Third Overall

Category awards#

Category winners are selected using either:

  • Highest score on a relevant subset of dimensions, or
  • Highest overall score among submissions that clearly qualify.

Suggested category mappings:

  • 🌐 Best Cross‑Domain: Cross-domain synthesis (primary), coherence, evidence
  • 🤝 Best Crowdsourced Effort: documentation, auditability, craft, coherence
  • 💥 Most Mind‑Blowing: novelty (primary), coherence
  • 🧩 Best Structural Coherence: coherence (primary), documentation
  • 🚀 Best Use of AI Assistance: responsible AI use (primary), auditability, documentation
