Each dimension is independent — a deck can be 9/10 on Innovation but
4/10 on Hierarchy and the report should say so plainly. Don't average
away interesting failures.
Does the artifact pick a clear direction and stick to it through
every micro-decision (chrome / kicker / spacing / accent)?
Evidence to look for:

0–4 Three styles fighting each other. 5–6 One direction but
half the elements drift. 7–8 Coherent, occasional drift on edge
pages. 9–10 Every element argues for the same thesis.

Does the artifact work for its intended use? Click targets, nav,
readability at presentation distance, copy-paste-ability for code
blocks, mobile fallback if relevant.
Evidence to look for:

Does this push past the median? Is there one element that makes
people lean in?

If multiple HTML files exist, ask which one (don't review all).
Skim the entire <style>, then read 6–8 representative content
blocks. Do not score from frontmatter alone. The score depends on
executed design, not declared intent.
For each of the 5 dimensions, write the score and a 30–80 word
evidence paragraph that names specific elements. Use line numbers,
class names, page numbers.
Example:
Dimension: Detail execution
Score: 6 / 10
Evidence: Stat-cards on page 3 align cleanly (grid-6, 3×2), but on
page 8 the right column foot sits 2vh higher than the left because
.callout has 3vh top margin while the figure doesn't. Image captions
