"That's... very legitimate, but not one I can solve in 5 minutes, sorry. I don't have all the measuring instruments we'd have at home, I can't just go to the store and buy standard tests for how you're doing at learning predicate logic or calculus, and if I'm going to have to improvise that, I'd better not do it on the spot. Success metrics are hugely important on any operation, I don't dare half-ass them. I can't even promise that I'll manage to find somebody other than myself to evaluate all aspects of your short-term performance, separately from my being the one who teaches you, even though in dath ilan we'd think it was hugely stupid to have the teacher be the student evaluator. Like, general issues of Lawfulness aside, we'd usually consider it to be a blatantly obvious matter of optimal institutional design, that there be a separate student evaluator that students would theoretically have to sleep with in order to obtain better grades, who's not the same person responsible for teaching the students in the first place. And we'd also be looking for forms of evaluation that were easy for a higher Watcher to check and catch out any lower Watchers who'd done it incorrectly, for sexual reasons or otherwise. I can't promise you any of that, it may not even end up being the practical priority, and I ask for your understanding and forbearance about that given the incredibly weird circumstances."
"Though, I mean, in the long term there's an obvious team metric where we look at the gross domestic product of Cheliax and Golarion and see if we pushed it above trend, or measure how much money we made by selling better metals and agricultural implements."
