The rules every score follows
- 01Each factor is scored independently, rounded, and clamped to its maximum.
- 02Factor points are added together and the total is clamped to 0–100.
- 03The total maps to one of six fixed verdicts. Same inputs always give the same score.
- 04The score measures assumption pressure — how hard the plan leans on optimistic numbers — not the probability of success.
- 05AI never sets or changes the score. It is only used to classify a typed goal, pre-fill known numbers, and explain results in plain English.
