The evidence workflow
Identify the exact title and supplier. Read the primary product page, preserve its figures and record omissions. Match images to the correct edition. Write the interpretation separately from the supplier fact. Finally check links, visible metadata and consistency across the comparison.
The 70-point research rubric
| Criterion | Maximum | Current assessment rule |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanics documentation | 20 | 15 for a named mechanic and layout; 20 requires complete documented evaluation rules |
| Feature documentation | 15 | 8 for named features; 13 for a stated trigger and award; 15 requires complete trigger/retrigger detail |
| RTP transparency | 15 | 0 where the cited source omits RTP |
| Risk clarity | 10 | 10 for an explicit supplier volatility label, labelled as such |
| Paytable completeness | 5 | 0 without a complete publicly documented paytable |
| Provider provenance | 5 | 5 for an identifiable official source |
The calculation is visible
Add the documented points, divide by 70 and multiply by 10. Round once to one decimal place. The current original-game calculation is (15 + 8 + 0 + 10 + 0 + 5) ÷ 70 × 10 = 5.4. Deluxe scores 6.1 because its source specifies a trigger and initial award.
These are source-coverage assessments. A missing RTP lowers documentation coverage; it is not proof that the game’s actual RTP is poor.
What is not scored
The full 100-point framework reserves 15 for measured mobile experience, 10 for observed interface quality and 5 for originality assessed through actual play. No launch review receives those 30 points. No hands-on total is assigned.
Publication and update controls
Article dates record substantive publication or checking, not an automatic daily refresh. A changed specification should receive a note identifying the affected field and source. A catalogue record is not promoted to a full review until the editorial sections and evidence have been completed.
