Minimum Review Standards
AURELIS defines the minimum requirements for review activities, including scope, criteria, weighting, independent scoring, tie handling, recusal procedures, result confirmation and record retention. Each award may develop its own professional framework, but it must not fall below the published baseline.
Reviewer Eligibility
Award organisers propose reviewers. AURELIS verifies identity, professional experience, category relevance, independent judgement and the required confidentiality and interest-disclosure records. Eligibility review confirms only that a reviewer meets the appointment threshold; it does not involve AURELIS in judging entries.
Procedural Verification & Records
AURELIS retains, or requires organisers to retain, reviewer biographies, appointment records, relationship disclosures, original scores, amendments, meeting minutes and result-confirmation files. Following a formal complaint, procedural anomaly or compliance review, AURELIS verifies only whether procedure and records are complete; it does not reassess the work.
