RFI Self-Assessment Criteria

Each criterion is scored on a 0–20 scale.
Applicants should select the most accurate range and provide supporting notes.


1️⃣ Structural Harmony (0–20)

Alignment of outcomes with natural anatomy, facial structure, and hair growth patterns.

☐ 18–20
Outcomes consistently enhance natural structure without distortion or forced direction.

☐ 15–17
Strong structural alignment with minor refinement opportunities.

☐ 12–14
Basic alignment present but some imposed shaping or tension visible.

☐ Below 12
Outcomes frequently conflict with natural structure.

Supporting Notes / Examples:
(Brief explanation of approach, mapping, or technique)


2️⃣ Symmetry & Balance (0–20)

Definition:
Proportional consistency without rigid or forced uniformity.

☐ 18–20
Balanced outcomes that respect natural asymmetry.

☐ 15–17
Generally balanced with occasional inconsistency.
