Geo-fencing and device/IP checks prevent proximity manipulation.

Violations lead to penalties, reputation loss, or permanent removal.

Component-by-Component Grading

Grade each component individually using the standard scale. Every grade must be accompanied by supporting notes explaining the assessment.
