4 of 8 deductions are Relevance

What the tags mean → “and we have been very clear, the fund will be independent from the government.” Asserts independence from government but does not address the appointment question.
Partly on point Staying near the subject without addressing the matter at hand: what was asked, or what the bill, motion or speech is about.

Respect · 100
0 of 8 deductions are Respect
Respect checks whether the speaker argued with people’s positions and records rather than attacking the people: insults, mockery, or bad motives assigned to them. Criticism of what someone did, however strong, is not marked.
Nothing lost points.
Clarity · 44
2 of 8 deductions are Clarity
Clarity checks for plain speaking, clear ownership of actions, and honest limits on certainty. A low score means vague promises or evasive language.
Vague promise A promise with no date, no measure and no one responsible. What the tags mean → “we have been very clear, the fund will be independent from the government” The commitment to independence names no mechanism, actor or measure by which it will be achieved.
Vague promise A promise with no date, no measure and no one responsible. What the tags mean → “It is going to be at arm’s length from the government” The claim of arm’s-length status gives no concrete structure or actor ensuring it.
