Our Grading Scale
In our effort to evaluate and grade the quality of content across various dimensions, we have developed a comprehensive grading tool that assesses content based on several key categories. These categories include Originality, Helpfulness, Reliability, Safety, Up-to-datedness, Accuracy, Effort, Transparency and more… Each category is crucial in determining the overall value and quality of the content.
To provide a clear and standardized assessment, we use a scoring system that ranges from 0 to 10.
