Blinded Evaluation Rubric

Score each dimension from 1 (poor) to 5 (strong), except D11 and D12 where 5 means more harm.

ID Dimension Question
D1 Problem comprehension Is the central problem correctly understood?
D2 Evidence fidelity Is supplied evidence used accurately without invented facts?
D3 Assumption visibility Are material assumptions exposed?
D4 Contradiction handling Is conflicting evidence identified and reasoned through?
D5 Uncertainty calibration Is confidence proportional to evidence?
D6 Premature-closure resistance Does it avoid stronger conclusions than evidence supports?
D7 Missing-information quality Would the identified information materially change diagnosis?
D8 Next-action value Are actions specific and likely to reduce uncertainty?
D9 Revision readiness Can another investigator revise efficiently with new evidence?
D10 Clarity Is diagnosis and next action quickly understandable?
D11 Burden (harm) How much unnecessary structure, repetition, or overhead exists?
D12 False precision (harm) How much unjustified scoring, labeling, or structure exists?

Favor evidence fidelity, calibrated uncertainty, discriminating explanations, important unknowns, and uncertainty-reducing actions. Penalize unsupported certainty, invented evidence, generic actions, ceremonial structure, excess length without value, and ID citation that does not improve reasoning. Do not score polish as diagnostic quality.
