When scoring source citations under E-E-A-T, evaluate whether each public statistic carries the FLOW evidence triple: year anchor in prose, inline citation with publisher and title, URL with retrieval date in the source block.

When --rubric is passed, additionally score the post on the 10 editorial heuristics defined in skills/blog/references/editorial-heuristics.md. Each heuristic gets a 0-4 score and a severity tag (P0 / P1 / P2 / P3 / none).
The rubric does NOT replace the 100-point score. It runs alongside and surfaces which findings are blocking versus which are polish.
Output the rubric as either:
