Answers & Depth Optimization: How Rarity Scoring Works
A deep look inside Krillion's evaluation engine: how string normalization handles diacritics and case, why specific entities yield Hadal-tier depth, and how to systematically prepare your vocabulary.
Key Tactical Takeaways
- Normalization automatically strips accents and converts text to lowercase alphanumeric format.
- Substring matching ensures full names (e.g., "Fyodor Dostoevsky") and common surnames ("Dostoevsky") are both recognized.
- Curated lists feature over 104 categories with 30-50 verified answers across all rarity bands.
1. The Offline Evaluation Pipeline
Krillion’s client-side evaluator operates in five sequential steps when processing your submission:
1. Junk & Evasion Filter: Flags generic fillers ("idk", "asdf", "none", "skip") and returns an immediate invalid breach.
2. Hadal Deep Cut Check: Scans the category’s verified obscure example database for exact or substring matches (Awards +2,200m base).
3. Abyssal Rare Check: Scans the uncommon example database (Awards +1,400m base).
4. Plankton Common Check: Scans top-of-mind mainstream terms (Awards +220m base).
5. Plausible Alternative Filter: Validates structured terms not explicitly in seed lists with a conservative reef evaluation (+600m base).
