RFI Self-Assessment Criteria

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

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)
