§ 003 — The transparent rubric

Methodology

How the gray gets measured. Every formula, every weight, every question, with sources. Published so you can argue with it.

§ 003·a

The shade

Every quiz result is a single number from 00 to 100. 00 is total black — never legal. 100 is total white — never illegal. The space between is the gray you operate in.

shade = 100 × (1 − Σ(intensityₐ × severityₐ) / Σ(severityₐ))

Each answer has an intensity(0 for “never”, 1 for “always” or a single yes). Each question has a severity rooted in the relevant statute — petty stuff like jaywalking lands near 1; assault near 60; the most serious acts near 90. The weighted average is subtracted from 100.

This means a single admission of a high-severity act pulls your shade down hard; many admissions of small severities accumulate mildly. That matches the way the law itself thinks about gray.

§ 003·b

The ten axes

Two people can land on the same shade for very different reasons. Each question also loads onto one or more of these ten axes, so your archetype reflects why, not just how much.

§ 003·c

The fifty bands

The 0–100 scale is sliced into fifty named bands. Your shade lands in one and inherits its name. Two shades apart means a different flavor.

§ 003·d

The fifty archetypes

Each archetype is anchored to a shade and described by a dominant cluster of axes. Your final archetype is the nearest-neighbour match within your shade band.

§ 003·e

The questions

The live NL bank, grouped by topic. Each entry shows the prompt, format, jurisdictional severity, statute citation, answer intensities, and the axes it loads onto.
