Deductive scoring, classifier separation, and evidence-backed modifiers.
The framework separates what a game is from how well it executes its own stated structure. Classifiers describe identity. Metrics score execution. Modifiers document observed flaws or strengths that change scores.
Core Metrics
Modifier Families
Score Model
metric_score = 10.0 - sum(observed_modifier_penalties) Each modifier carries a base value, severity, scope, frequency mode, confidence, evidence requirement, and cap. Repeated problems matter, but capped modifier families prevent one issue from dominating the entire score unfairly.
