Evaluating the rating of an article is split up into two processes. Firstly, the following questions are considered, and negative tags are applied as necessary.

• Does the article cover all material in its scope?
  • If there is little material because the subject is too narrow, the page is {{trivial}}, and likely to be deleted.
  • If there is little or no material suitable for Kawachan, the page should be marked as requiring a {{domain}} move.
  • If there significant material to discuss within the subject of the article under the context of Kawachan, but not all material is covered, the page is {{short}}, and additional information should be added.
  • If the article does cover everything in its scope, is within the scope of Kawachan, and covers a wide range of material, good.
• Does the article make grammatical sense? Can it be understood?
  • If not, it is {{crap}}, and should be rewritten.
  • If yes, good.
• How much logical sense does it make?
  • If it is entirely consistent with outside sources, then it has too much {{fact}}, and needs moar opinion and sarcasm.
  • If it is inconsistent with itself, or with older articles on Kawachan, it is {{wrong}}, and should be edited to restore consistency.
    • Since Kawachan is parody, statements need not be consistent with outside facts.
    • However, once a statement is established on Kawachan, newer ones must conform to it.
    • This helps to generate more humorous material.
  • If it is consistent with itself and other Kawachan articles, but partially inconsistent with outside sources, good.
• Does the article have correct spelling, punctuation, grammar and formatting?
  • If not, it requires {{cleanup}}.
  • If so, good.

If not all four questions above resulted in a good, the process stops now. Otherwise, one goes on to less important criteria to choose a positive tag:

• What is the state of the links in the article?
