What gets scored in every session

Specific, sentence-level feedback.

Dimension What it measures How to answer
Regulatory Specificity Is your legal framework specific enough to be credible in a managed care context? We flag answers where regulatory knowledge is generic or assumed. Named regulation, healthcare jurisdiction, compliance domain
Risk Framing Do you frame risk in business probability and impact terms or pure legal language? We score whether your risk communication is usable by a non-lawyer. Business risk language, probability and magnitude framing
Advice Clarity Did you give a recommendation or a list of options? We score whether your legal analysis ends with a clear direction. Recommendation present, "I advised" language
Compliance Impact What changed because of your legal or compliance work? We flag stories with no regulatory or business outcome. Regulatory outcome, audit result, business decision changed
