Casting news isn’t a rating
Exciting attaches belong in Stories as anticipation — physical craft, typecasting risk, prior-turn pattern.
What you can do today
Name the risk in the casting: body as instrument, listening under genre cosplay, brand vs role. That is craft prep, not a score.
Hard rule
No invented numbers for unaired work. When the title unlocks, the scoreboard opens. Until then: curiosity free, scores forbidden.
Live example
Christoph Waltz as COL. Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds (2009) — Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds. Use the card to test the rule, not to borrow the average.
Scoreboard hygiene
Treat quick-rates as drafts until a quiet scene confirms them. Separate lead and supporting cards. Keep box office and awards chatter in comments, not in the sliders themselves.
Before you close the tab
Name one criterion you weighted heavily today and the scene that earned it. If the scene is missing, the score is still a draft.
Journal rule
If your number moved because of discourse instead of a scene, put it back. Stories carry heat; news keeps the rules legible.
Keep the rails clean
Stories carry timely performance heat. News keeps the rules legible. Both belong on a scoreboard site — neither should go dark between event weekends.
