Standing
—
One line per active student, ordered by a weighted
average of what they scored and how they were rated on the
taught days. A taught day nobody rated them on counts as a
zero — which is why every row carries how many days it is actually
based on. Read the coverage before you read the rank.
The final project is a bonus, not a component.
Project ratings are held out of the average entirely and out of the
coverage; what they can do is add up to half a star on top, in
proportion to how well the student was rated there. A student nobody
rated on the project keeps the standing they earned — the column shows
an em dash, never a zero.
Each square in Criteria is one criterion across
the taught days, in the order of the weights above. Deeper is a higher
mark; an outline is a criterion nobody has rated yet, which the
standing counts as zero. Project is what the final project adds
on top, and it is the one column that can never subtract.

Who may read this
HR sees progress by default and no instructor judgement
at all — their queries never select it. Granting the standing hands
over the numbers: the rank and the averages behind it. A note
is not reachable from it, by any route, granted or not. Both granting
and revoking are written to the audit trail.
