| Requirement | Verdict | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| three_concepts Exactly three ad concepts are present. | ✓ | Programmatic check: primary_text_field_count=3. |
| all_fields Each concept has all seven labeled fields: Primary text, Headline, Description, CTA, Visual direction, Audience insight, and Test hypothesis. | ✓ | Each of the three concepts lists Audience insight, Test hypothesis, Primary text, Headline, Description, CTA, and Visual direction. |
| approved_cta Exactly three CTA fields are present and every one is exactly 'Explore the Arc Clip Lamp'. | ✓ | Programmatic check: cta_field_count=3; approved_cta_field_count=3. |
| distinct_motivations The three concepts are built on distinct audience motivations (per the audience insights), not rewordings of the same angle. | ✓ | Concept 1 targets desk-space reclamation, Concept 2 targets cross-room portability, and Concept 3 targets shadow-free precision work for makers, three distinct motivations. |
| no_invented_proof No invented reviews, customers, performance numbers, scarcity, awards, or product capabilities beyond the supplied facts; forbidden claims (award-winning, best-selling, clinically proven, limited time, carbon neutral, guaranteed productivity) are absent. | ✓ | All copy sticks to supplied facts ($68, 8 hours, 2.25 inches, 3 brightness/2 color settings, padded clamp) with no reviews, awards, scarcity, or performance guarantees. |
| canonical_product_name Whenever the product is named, it is called 'Arc Clip Lamp'; shortened or altered names such as 'Arc Lamp' fail. | ✓ | The product is referred to as 'Arc Clip Lamp' consistently across all three concepts. |
| concrete_visuals Each Visual direction describes a specific, filmable/photographable scene tied to the concept's motivation, not vague mood words. | ✓ | Visual directions describe specific filmable scenes, e.g. 'top-down flat-lay video over a maker's cutting mat... hands assembling leather goods or linocut printing' with the lamp clamped and angled. |
| hypothesis_test_design Each Test hypothesis identifies the creative or message variable being tested and the comparator or control it would be tested against. | ✓ | Each hypothesis names a variable and a comparator, e.g. 'desk-surface reclamation... will outperform mobility-led messaging' and 'cross-room portability... than focusing strictly on task utility'. |
| hypothesis_prediction Each Test hypothesis names an observable KPI and its expected direction. Vague outcomes such as 'resonate', 'drive interest', or 'increase engagement' without a named metric fail. | ✗ | Concept 1's hypothesis only says it will 'outperform' with no named metric, and Concept 3 uses the vague 'drive higher engagement' which the rubric explicitly flags as insufficient without a named KPI. |
