Rubric

Scoring Rubric

Each workflow run is graded against a weighted model that balances naming accuracy, operational safety, and day-to-day usability inside real Mac and Windows workflows.

DimensionWeightWhat we measure
Semantic filename accuracy 35% Does the new name describe file meaning, not only generic patterns?
Consistency in batch runs 20% Stable naming style across mixed files in one task.
Automation depth 15% Batch workflow, folder monitoring, and repeatability.
Safety controls 15% History, rollback, preview-before-apply behavior.
Operational fit 15% Platform workflow quality on Mac and Windows, speed, and setup friction.
Validation

Benchmark Protocol

  1. 01

    Use a mixed-file benchmark set covering screenshots, design files, RAW and HEIC photos, PDFs, iWork, Office documents, audio, and video — no synthetic single-format tests.

  2. 02

    Run controlled rename jobs with identical prompts, templates, and Naming Blocks across cloud AI (Gemini, Groq, OpenAI, Claude) and Offline AI via Ollama.

  3. 03

    Score outputs against the rubric and record false positives, ambiguous labels, and any collisions inside batch runs.

  4. 04

    Validate rollback, preview, and one-click revert behavior on both Mac and Windows builds before marking a setup production-safe.

  5. 05

    Repeat checks after each release and log material changes in the public changelog with date and reason.
