Clarity (30%)
- Is each sentence easy to understand on first read?
- Are technical terms explained or used consistently?
- Is jargon avoided where plain language would work?
- Are sentences concise without sacrificing meaning?
- Is the writing free of ambiguity (could a reader misinterpret any part)?
- Are pronouns used clearly (no dangling references)?
Accuracy (30%)
- Are all factual claims correct and verifiable?
- Are technical details accurate (commands, file paths, API names)?
- Are code examples syntactically correct and runnable?
- Are version numbers, dates, and links correct?
- Is anything stated that contradicts the source material or task context?
- Are caveats and limitations mentioned where appropriate?
Tone (15%)
- Is the tone appropriate for the target audience?
- Is the writing professional without being stuffy?
- Is it consistent throughout (no jarring shifts from formal to casual)?
- Does it avoid condescension ("simply", "just", "obviously")?

Structure (25%)
- Is there a logical progression from introduction to details?
- Are headings and sections used effectively?
- Does each paragraph focus on one idea?
- Are lists used where appropriate (not buried in prose)?
