Quadrant Scores
Audience Representation
Racial audience not shown
Not enough of the cast has a researched race to score this honestly.
Why this is blank
Racial audience scores need at least half the actor cast classified. Below that line the page shows this note instead of a number. A blank is not a score of zero.
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.
