How it is scored
Language gate (wrong language = 0), then 0.5 x scaled chrF vs reference(s) + 0.3 x checks (names, numbers, units, codes kept; register; no literal idioms; length; no untranslated leftovers) + 0.2. Pass = right language, every check, chrF above the script's bar. Fluency/adequacy judged with rubric.md.
