[ Score scale ]

How to read the level.

Needs intervention

The label names screening risk for this context. It is not a certification or a measured comprehension rate.

0.80-1.00

Strong clarity

The pictogram communicates well in this context.

Use it, then keep testing with real users.

0.65-0.79

Usable with support

The pictogram works with labels or context.

Pair it with text and monitor interpretation.

0.50-0.64

Current report

The pictogram carries meaningful clarity risk.

Improve the symbol before relying on it.

0.00-0.49

Not reliable

The pictogram does not communicate enough alone.

Replace it or add strong alternative support.

[ CONVERGENCE PROFILE ]

Where evidence agrees.

The profile compares visual evidence, semantic extraction, cultural recognition, time, and cognitive context. It shows agreement between signals, not universal validity.

Convergent meaning profile

The radar shows where meaning converges. It does not certify universal validity.

Perceptual Convergence0.75How strongly visual form survives size, blur, contrast, and detail loss.
Semantic Convergence0.64How strongly extracted meaning converges on one interpretation.
Functional Convergence0.58How strongly the symbol maps to the intended function.
Cultural Convergence0.45How strongly recognition holds across cultural evidence and assumptions.
Temporal Convergence0.46How strongly meaning persists over time without semantic decay.
Neurocognitive Convergence0.57How strongly the symbol follows AAC pictogram reading: transparent referent, concrete action, low convention load, and support.
Context Independence0.64How strongly meaning survives without external labels or placement cues.
Collective Resonance0.51How strongly public evidence supports shared recognition and persistence.

Legacy function

The visible object can be recognizable while the intended action behaves as a learned interface convention.

Cultural axis

0.45

Recognition depends on cultural exposure and prior assumptions, so shared understanding is weaker than visual recognition alone suggests.

Temporal axis

0.46

Meaning weakens over time when the source object or function is less present in everyday use.
