How to read your novelty score
The novelty check scores your concept, proposal, base papers and a sample experimental result out of 100, each with a reason, then combines them into a final score shown against the threshold you set. A score below your threshold is a prompt to strengthen the idea, not a verdict.
In the sample project the final score is 71 out of 100 against a threshold of 75, so the report lists what to strengthen before spending time on code.
Steps
- 1
Look at the final score
A ring shows the final score out of 100, with a line saying whether it is below or above your threshold.
- 2
Read each input's score
The concept, the proposal, the base papers and the sample experimental result each get a score with a short reason and the file it came from. In the sample these are 80, 60, 65 and 80.

Read the open questions
EasySeer lists what is missing, for example a literature review, a metric or an experiment plan.

Open context.docx
This is the project spec every later step builds on. Open it, read it and answer the open questions.

Approve or request changes
Approve the spec to unlock code generation, or press Request changes and describe what to fix.
Tips
Raise a weak score by adding what is missing: a proposal, more base papers, a clearer plan
Set your threshold to match how strict your supervisor or field is
Common mistakes
- Approving a spec you have not opened
- Reading a high score as proof that a journal will find the work novel
Questions
Is the score a prediction of acceptance?
No. It is a decision aid. Editors and reviewers judge novelty.
What is context.docx?
The project specification EasySeer drafts after the novelty check. You approve it before any code is written.
