Relevance · no score
Not applicable: nothing to answer. Excluded from the average.
Relevance checks whether the speaker stays on topic and answers the question asked. A low score means the speaker dodged the issue.
Respect · 75
1 of 2 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.
Insult An insult aimed at a person. What the tags mean → “The Prime Minister, on the other hand, is merely a Liberal, in addition to being paternalistic and anti-democratic” These words attach the personal labels paternalistic and anti-democratic directly to the Prime Minister as a character judgment rather than to his record.
Clarity · 100
0 of 2 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.
