    Issue: README is fairly short (−10 pts). At 400+ chars you get partial credit; 1,500+ earns the full +20 pts.Fix: Expand with a description, install steps, usage, and examples.
    Issue: README has little structure (−15 pts). Add 2-3 headings for +8 pts; 4+ earns +15 pts.Fix: Break it into sections (Overview, Install, Usage, Contributing) using Markdown headings.
    Issue: No screenshots or images in the README (−20 pts).Fix: Add a GIF, screenshot, or logo image. It is the fastest way to show what your project does.
    Issue: README has no code examples (−15 pts).Fix: Show a quick-start snippet so contributors can see what using your project looks like.
    Issue: No live demo link in the README (−20 pts).Fix: Link to a deployed version, docs site, or demo video. Users want to see it running.
    Issue: No status badges in the README (−10 pts).Fix: Add CI/build status badges from shields.io or your CI provider to signal project health.
    Issue: No install instructions found in the README (−45 pts).Fix: Add a section showing how to install dependencies.
    Good: README documents how to run the project.
