Important!
The overall Reader Scoresheet Score doesn't need to perfectly correlate with the Recommendation (Pass/Consider/Recommend), but it *does* need to make some sort of sense. (e.g. a script that scores an 85 shouldn't be rated as a PASS, except in special circumstances, and a script that scores a 60 shouldn't be rated as a RECOMMEND. Please provide a rating and score that, when looked at together, don't confuse the client.
