How to Grade an Article Using Jennifer

Task Library

Create the missing definitive article – the guide to scoring article quality with the Jennifer grading system, the quality gate in the Content Factory's Process stage (Low-priority gap).

Category: Gaps & Tasks to Create

Use this when articles ship ungraded because no hub documents the Jennifer grading system – this skill creates the definitive article that closes the gap. Priority: Low.

Inputs

  • Real Jennifer grading runs to document: actual inputs, actual scores, actual rework decisions – the article documents the real system, never invented criteria
  • Every existing blitzmetrics.com article that mentions Jennifer or article grading
  • The Content Factory Process-stage context: grading sits alongside proofreading (Step 11 of /blog-posting-guidelines)
  • WordPress access (Gutenberg) and the Nine Requirements checklist

Steps

  1. Identify the concept and gather every existing page mentioning Jennifer grading – the hub organizes them, it does not replace them.
  2. Write the definition (first two paragraphs): what grading with Jennifer is – a quality score on a draft before it posts – what it is not (a replacement for editorial judgment), and who runs it.
  3. Document the complete process from real runs: what Jennifer takes as input (the draft article); how to submit it; what the score covers and the pass threshold; what to do with a failing grade – fix and re-grade before posting; where the gate sits in the pipeline (after proofreading, before WordPress posting per /blog-posting-guidelines). Capture this from actual operator runs – the gap exists because tribal knowledge was never written down.
  4. Link every real example of a graded article, each with a 1-2 sentence note (score, what changed, outcome).
  5. Cross-link related definitive articles: /content-factory (the pipeline it gates) and /blog-posting-guidelines (the steps it sits between).
  6. Add the course/service CTA near the bottom.
  7. Set a short, memorable URL redirecting to the hub – never to the homepage or a case study.
  8. Add an above-the-fold visual: the grade-rework-pass loop as a clickable diagram.
  9. Add E-E-A-T: real grade reports and before/after article improvements – highest authority first.
  10. Publish as a Post in the Definitive Articles category (Gutenberg), then run the Meta-Article Prompt (/meta-article-prompt-template) for the companion meta-article.
  11. Flip the dashboard status from Gap (Red), then update this skill's definitive_article field and the Content Factory – Process task "Grade article using Jennifer" (also a gap) to point at the new hub.

Definition of done (QA checklist)

  • Article meets all Nine Requirements, documented from real runs with no invented criteria
  • Pass threshold and rework loop stated concretely enough to follow without asking anyone
  • Published as a Post in the Definitive Articles category via the standard block editor
  • Complies with Blog Posting Guidelines (title <60 chars, meta <160, keyword in first paragraph, no stock images, no AI-fluff)
  • Companion meta-article published; both Jennifer gap tasks updated from GAP to the live short URL
  • Linked back to related hubs: /content-factory, /blog-posting-guidelines

Example(s)

  • Example needed – run the Meta-Article Prompt after first publish; /meta-article-prompt-template (29 linked examples) is the model.
