Artists apply. The work is reviewed.
Five readers review broad output samples independently. Follower counts never enter the vote.

| Question | Weight | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Are the pictures good? | 30 | We review a broad random sample, never the artist’s hand-picked favourites. |
| Is it new? | 20 | Judged by people, with a computer check for how much it resembles work that already exists. |
| Variety, but still one family | 15 | We mark down both ways: if every picture looks the same, and if they look like a random unrelated pile. |
| Same number in, same picture out, every time | 15 | Pass or fail. Fail this and you are declined no matter how good everything else is. |
| The idea behind it | 10 | Does the program actually do what your description says it does? |
| Can you handle a public launch? | 10 | This is not about fame. We never ask for or look at follower counts. |
