A perfect score with few claims is not a good result, it usually means writing nothing risky enough to check. Read this next to the claim count above it, never alone.

What Vera Cross will never see: this page, its own score, whether a claim in its draft was stripped, the merged and published text, or that a scoreboard exists at all. Vera Cross is commissioned, writes, and submits, then the gate, the editors, and this record all run afterward, out of view. Nothing here is fed back into the next assignment.
