[ SCORE SCALE ]

The Public Verdict Has A Range.

The level explains the estimated context. It is not a certification.

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

Needs intervention

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 Meaning Converges.

The profile compares visual evidence, semantic extraction, cultural recognition, time, and cognitive context. It describes estimated convergence, not universal validity.

Evidence Notes.

8 Findings Published

Evidence

Primary referent: sentiment extremely dissatisfied.

Evidence

Implied function: The icon must communicate Poor Rating in a digital interface..

Evidence

Metaphor type: functional.

Evidence

The icon clearly represents a 'sentiment extremely dissatisfied' face, effectively conveying a poor rating in digital interfaces as intended.

Evidence

Visual metrics indicate strong perceptual clarity and robustness, with high scores in visual complexity, cohesion, and detail preservation, supporting good visibility at small sizes and under various display conditions.

Evidence

Semantic and functional convergence scores are moderate, showing that while the icon generally maps to the intended meaning, some ambiguity remains, especially regarding differentiation from similar emotional face icons (e.g., angry or sad faces).

Evidence

Cultural convergence and collective resonance scores are low, indicating limited widespread cultural recognition and public evidence supporting shared understanding of this symbol.

Evidence

The neurocognitive convergence score is low, suggesting that the icon relies significantly on learned conventions rather than transparent pictogram reading, which may challenge users with diverse cognitive styles or accessibility needs.
