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.
Having your own work read against one criterion (optional):

15 criteria
Maintaining the level and quality of performance from start to finish
The five levels →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 →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 →Unifying recurring details across the product to show coherent mastery
The five levels →Even stitch size, direction, and spacing across the whole work.
The five levels →Matching the repeated pattern units in size, spacing, and alignment.
The five levels →Straight, regular hand saddle-stitching with even hole spacing and angle.
The five levels →Even carving or engraving depth across the pattern so light and shadow are uniform.
The five levels →Whether the critic's judgments hold together across the text, rather than contradicting themself evaluating the same element or equivalent elements
The five levels →Using a fixed spacing scale (4/8) and optically tuned spacing instead of arbitrary gaps.
The five levels →The same visual rules (colors, corner radii, line weights, shadows) repeating across a set of multiple elements without drift between them.
The five levels →Maintaining a consistent and continuous tempo throughout the performance
The five levels →Accuracy of note timing and sequence within the rhythmic framework
The five levels →Executing the Arabic rhythmic cycle's structure (dum/tak) at its correct time positions (Maqsūm, Maṣmūdī…).
The five levels →Unity of style and meaning across a set of images rather than a single shot
The five levels →
