Evaluation & Scoring Rubric

This rubric checks whether an incident report uses accurate findings, a clear method, and careful language.

Score Card

Point Distribution (Max 100 Points)

50 Pts

Correct Analysis Flag

Forensically identifying and submitting the correct simulated flag code matching the incident dataset.

30 Pts

Evidence & Source Quality

Notebook records explicitly specify which official reports were used, record the correct access date, and match observed timeline telemetry.

20 Pts

Confidence Level & Defensive Voice

Assigning lower confidence ratings to ambiguous indicators. Formatting the report to strictly segregate verified facts from inferential leaps.

Penalty Card

Scoring Penalty Parameters

-30

Unsupported Over-Claims & Early Attribution

Asserting actor attribution as absolute truth based solely on network proxy overlaps, or drawing definite conclusions from ambiguous diagnostic log entries.

-50

Privacy & Ethical Bounds Violations

Including real personal identifiers, victim details, or leaked database entries in your report notes. The lab runs strictly on synthetic, simulated values.

Standard

Investigative Standard

Incident Lab checks how you review an incident. Your score depends on accurate data, clear uncertainty, and respect for legal and privacy limits. Your notes should be clear enough for another person to check.
