How a tough reader scores it
When you score a draft against this format, the Critic evaluates these OKRs. The weights add up to 100; the fixes for the weakest criteria arrive as cards in the editor.
| Criterion | Weight |
|---|---|
| Objectives are meaningful and clearly tied to company strategy | 15 |
| Key results are measurable outcomes, not activities | 25 |
| Baselines and targets are stated | 15 |
| Ambition is calibrated — committed vs. aspirational labeled | 10 |
| Each KR has one owner | 10 |
| Set is focused — ≤5 objectives, ≤5 KRs each | 10 |
| KRs together would prove the objective was met | 15 |
How it works in SecondPen.ai
Open the template and the editor writes the blank once, with a line of guidance under each heading that you delete as you fill it in. Write your abstract and the editor names the format it reads like. Ask for a document with a slash command and it offers to start from the matching format. When the draft is ready, the Critic scores it against the criteria above, the way this format's toughest reader would, and the three highest-leverage fixes become Editor cards.
