Understanding the Scorecard
DoctrineGuard provides a multi-dimensional scorecard for your content:
| Dimension | What It Measures |
|---|---|
| Biblical Accuracy | Whether Scripture references are quoted correctly and used in proper context |
| Theological Soundness | Whether claims are consistent with historic Christian orthodoxy |
| Contextual Fidelity | Whether passages are interpreted within their literary and historical context |
| Factual Correctness | Whether historical, geographical, and cultural claims are accurate |
Each dimension receives a score and specific feedback highlighting areas of concern with suggested improvements.
Denominational Lenses
DoctrineGuard can evaluate your content through 7 different denominational perspectives:
- Reformed - Calvinist theological framework
- Catholic - Roman Catholic tradition and magisterium
- Pentecostal - Charismatic and Spirit-focused emphasis
- Baptist - Baptist distinctives and convictions
- Lutheran - Lutheran confessional theology
- Anglican - Anglican via media tradition
- Non-denominational - Broadly evangelical perspective
Selecting a lens adjusts the analysis to account for tradition-specific emphases without dismissing other perspectives.
