For Reviewers

Calibration & standards

Staying consistent with the standard.

Calibration keeps reviewers aligned with each other and with the client's standard.

• Calibration sessions, occasional known-answer tasks measure your agreement with the expected standard.
• The client's instructions are the standard.When judging, apply the project's written instructions, not your personal preference.
• Consistency beats severity. Two reviewers should reach the same decision on the same work. When in doubt, needs-revision with clear feedback teaches more than a silent reject.
