The Rubric Bank — with all five levels

234 written Arabic criteria, each with five anchors describing exactly what separates one level from the next. These are the same criteria your work is measured against — open to read before you pay anything.

The five levels →
CAL-B-01 Observation Beginner
Alif-to-Dot Proportion Accuracy

How closely your alif's height in the panel (measured in pixels relative to your own reference dot) matches the documented traditional ratio for the declared script (Naskh ~5 dots, Thuluth ~7 dots) — not measured for scripts outside the classical dot system (Ruq'ah/Diwani/Kufic)

The five levels →
CAL-B-02 Construction Beginner
Baseline Straightness

Your writing line's deviation from true horizontal, in degrees, computed by a real geometric Hough transform on your own photo's pixels — never a visual estimate

The five levels →
CAL-B-03 Construction Beginner
Pen-Angle Consistency Across the Panel

How consistently your pen's stroke direction holds across several points in your panel, measured from the local ink orientation around each point you mark (a platform-declared measurement standard, not a historical figure) — an unstable pen angle signals inconsistent pen-grip control, not a letter-shape flaw

The five levels →
CAL-B-04 Consistency Beginner
Letter-Spacing Regularity

How consistent the horizontal gap between your letters stays, measured by the coefficient of variation of ink-blob gap widths along the marked line — erratic spacing breaks the reading rhythm even when the letters themselves are sound

The five levels →
CAL-B-05 Construction Beginner
Stroke-Thickness Consistency

How steady the pen's stroke thickness stays along one letter you mark (measured by the coefficient of variation of several cross-section widths along that same stroke) — thickness varying WITHIN one stroke signals uncontrolled pen pressure, unlike the intentional thick/thin contrast between different strokes in the script itself

The five levels →
CAL-B-06 Consistency Beginner
Repeated-Letter Proportion Consistency

How steady the same letter's height (relative to your own reference dot) stays every time it recurs across your panel — a real calligraphic principle: one letter must not vary in size within the same piece, independent of any external reference figure

The five levels →
CAL-B-07 Expression Beginner
Stroke Flow and Letter Connection

How smoothly the pen moves between connected letters, with no unintended stops or breaks in the ligature — judged by a vision model pointing at a specific location in the image, never a generic impression

The five levels →
CAL-B-08 Observation Beginner
Tashkil Placement and Balance

The precision of diacritic (tashkil) placement above/below the letter, when present, and its size proportion to the letter itself — when no tashkil appears in the panel, this criterion is explicitly marked not applicable, never silently skipped

The five levels →
CAL-B-09 Construction Beginner
Overall Compositional Coherence

The balance of how letters and words are distributed across the whole panel's space, and how the larger gaps (between words and lines) relate proportionally to the smaller ones (between letters)
