## Overall Trend

- Baseline mean score: `6.17`
- Latest mean score: `6.14`
- Delta: `-0.03`
- Direction: `stable`

## Bloom's Taxonomy Distribution

| Level | File Count |
|---|---|
| Remember | 8 |
| Understand | 15 |
| Apply | 50 |
| Analyze | 7 |
| Evaluate | 5 |
| Create | 8 |

Pyramid gap check: `has_min_understand_steps = true`, `has_min_analyze_steps = true` — no corpus-level Bloom pyramid gap detected. The distribution is Apply-heavy (54% of files) but clears the minimum thresholds for Understand and Analyze/above, so no `gap_proposals` were generated.

## ⚠️ Rubric Instrumentation Issue (affects all scores above)

While validating findings against source files, we found that `CHECKPOINT_RE` and the prerequisite-section regex in `curriculum_assessment.py` only match literal emoji characters (`✅`, `📋`), but 88 of 93 workshop files use GitHub's `:white_check_mark:` / `:clipboard:` shortcode syntax per the repo's own style conventions. As a result:
- `has_checkpoint` is `false` for 88/93 files even though every one of those files has a real `## :white_check_mark: Checkpoint` section with checklist items — `checkpoint_quality` (weight 2.0) is silently zeroed out corpus-wide.
- `has_prereq_section` is `false` for all 93/93 files even though 86 files have a `## :clipboard: Before You Start` section — `scaffolding` (weight 1.5) is capped at 5/10 for every file that actually has scaffolding.

This means the **`overall_score` values in this scorecard understate true quality** for nearly the whole corpus and should be treated as a lower bound until the regex is fixed. A recommended fix is filed as a separate issue below.

Start by reviewing the score tables and 20-commit trend history in this issue, then inspect the listed workshop/*.md files, such as workshop/02a-setup-codespace.md and workshop/side-quest-01-03-permission-errors.md. The issue does not identify a target file, requested change, or completion criteria, so the desired output must be clarified before implementation.
