Key stats

Key takeaways
- Review against the brief, not personal preference.

- Calibrate reviewers with examples.
Rubric
Pair this rubric with the offshore team quality scorecard.
| Dimension | Pass signal | Blocker |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence | Claims trace to sources | Unsupported central claim |
| Structure | Reader can scan and act | Missing required section |
| Clarity | Terms are defined | Ambiguous recommendation |
| Integrity | Scope is honest | Misleading comparison |
Methodology and limitations
The rubric combines public research, quality, search, accessibility, privacy, and plain-language guidance. It is an editorial aid and not a substitute for specialist review.
