Writing is taught by judgment.

So the judgment itself has to be built with care.

A grade is only as trustworthy as the rubric behind it.

Most rubrics are written once, never tested, and quietly disagree with themselves. Nobody can inspect the instrument.

Scriptorium is a pedagogically designed creative-writing coach.

It treats the rubric as the product — an instrument you can build, stress-test, audit, and trust before a single word is scored.

Ten gates between idea and ink.

Every genre carries its own rubric template — dimension weights, an AI prior, and pedagogical scaffolding. The system always knows what kind of writing it is grading.

Seed a rubric. Prove it. Then grade.

Every decision leaves a trace.

State changes emit xAPI to a learning-record store — which doubles as the single bug source. GCS is the durable system of record, and "view as role" shows an admin exactly what that role sees.

Broad by design.

More than a grade book.

One instrument, seven vantage points.

Feedback you can defend — and improve.

Instructors ship rubrics that hold up to scrutiny. Students get specific, anchored feedback. Auditors inspect the instrument itself. The rubric compounds over time through a lineage trail.

Build the judgment.
Then the writing.

Pedagogically designed. Grounded in every trace.
