The ladder — same shape on every criterion

  1. 0 Not there
  2. 1 There, but broken
  3. 2 Works, all defaults
  4. 3 Works, some care
  5. 4 Clearly intentional
  6. 5 Polished, best in cohort

2–3 is the normal score. You don't get a 4 for "nothing is wrong." You get a 4 for a choice a judge can point at.
