About our 'Review Rank':
Each review is rated on a scale of 1 to 8, using only 1, 3, 5, and 8. While there is no definitive meaning to the levels, functionally:
1 = Limited Value
3 = Minor
5 = Substantial
8 = Outstanding
The idea is that each move up the scale is roughly* twice as useful as those at the level below it. The goal is that all reviews at the same level are roughly the same quality, and all of them are clearly distinct from those at the levels below and above it.
To be clear, this is a ranking of how interesting / useful / important the review is, not the reviewers rating of the work.
(* this is based on the Fibonacci sequence and methods used to rate tasks in planning methods used in agile development.)
