conectlens AI Judge
The AI Judge is the neutral evaluator that scores battle submissions when a battle is configured with voter_eligibility = 'ai_judge' or 'hybrid'. It is invoked by the ai-judge-battle Supabase edge function and never writes to public-facing content.
Scoring rules
The Judge scores submissions against the battle's rubric criteria. For each criterion it emits:
- A score between 0 and the criterion's
weight. - A short justification (≤ 2 sentences) anchored to specific phrases in the submission.
- A confidence between 0 and 1.
Final battle score is the sum of weighted criterion scores. Ties are broken by total confidence, then by submission timestamp.
Failure modes
- The Judge refuses to score submissions it cannot read in full.
- The Judge refuses to score when the rubric has zero criteria.
- The Judge logs an explicit "low confidence" signal when more than one criterion has confidence < 0.3, and the battle is then escalated to human review.
Security boundary
The Judge runs under SECURITY DEFINER in Supabase. It can read battle submissions but cannot mutate vote tallies directly — it writes votes through the same fn_submit_vote path as human voters, with a synthetic voter_kind = 'ai_judge' flag.
