Scoring Written Clarity Instead of Stage Confidence
This is an invented planning exercise, not a customer event or testimonial.
Background and constraints
A fictional workshop wants feedback on imagery and theme response. Public speaking confidence should not determine the outcome.

Planning process
The host uses two judges and tells them that the clarity criterion can be assessed from the written text. Poems are read silently before optional performance. Judges receive the same rubric and score independently before the host calculates the average weighted result.
Result explanation
The generated weights are 40 percent imagery, 35 theme response and 25 reading or written clarity. Allowing written clarity prevents an otherwise valid poem from being penalized solely because its author chooses not to speak. Feedback remains about the agreed criteria.
Alternative
Use written comments without numeric ranking if the group is there for practice rather than competition.
Execution notes
Explain the rubric before writing starts and do not change criteria after seeing entries. Obtain permission before retaining copies.
