Quadrant Scores
Audience Representation
Racial audience withheld
Only 70% of the cast has a researched race, so these scores stay blank.
Why this is blank
A partial classification would pull origin-race scores toward the researched slice and away from the cast as it is. The nine audience scores are withheld instead of shown as zero. Zero would mean no audience, which is not what a thin cast record says.
Faithfulness
Faithfulness not applicable
Faithfulness is scored only for adaptations.
Why this is blank
An original has no source text to compare. The score is left blank rather than shown as zero.
