The rubric
Every entry carries a severity score from 0 to 100, computed from a five-factor rubric - harm, scale, irreversibility, autonomy, and precedent - each scored 0-4 and combined with fixed weights (rubric v1). The combined score is never hand-assigned; it is always recomputed from the underlying factors, so a published score can never disagree with its own breakdown.
- Minor (0-20)
- Moderate (21-40)
- Elevated (41-60)
- Severe (61-80)
- Critical (81-100)
