All submissions are scored against the global rubric below.

Criterion	Weight	Description
Hook + narrative strategy	40%	Does the opening earn attention and does the story structure deliver a clear payoff?

Retention + pacing	25%	Does pacing hold attention with appropriate pattern interrupts and emotional rhythm?
