I invented one last year. Not entirely original nor exciting, but I'm coming up with a new one this year.
Several ideas came up:
1. Scoring: 0-100 marks. No way, too wide a range and too scientific.
2. Grading: A, B, C, D, E, F, U? No way, reminds me too much of school and exams.
3. Stars or Hearts: * ** *** **** ***** Not bad, but I want something more interesting.
My new system:
A 5-tier ranking using very complicated names I made up...
Black Jacq: Inspired by "Black Jack" obviously. Not a gambler myself, but when serendipity brings along Holy Grail status products, Black Jacq is the label I grant them.
Joyeux Jacq: Alliteration employed, roughly, or grammatically wrongly, meaning Joyful Jacq. Simply means items I enjoy using and things that make me happy. Favourites.
Just Jacq: Alright, medicore, use-able and do not have problem using it. Just somewhere in the middle of being liked and disliked.
Non-Jacq: Probably an okay item that did not earn my heart. Not a wrong make but not one that works for me.
What the Jacq?: Something wrong with the product in my humble opinion. Not only do I think it is not designed for me, I do not recommend this to others, either.
Illustrations:
I know my system is slightly confusing, not to me, so I'm briefly reviewing five products for your better understanding. :)
