I am happy with the core criteria. I love me some clarifications, as y’all know, but I think the core criteria is clear. What is unclear imo is the current review flow.
How many new reviewers in 2025 are going to find an AMA from 2023 explaining that you must use one of the first four questions to reject a nomination? AMA - November 2023 - #5 by NianticTintino
How many are just using 
on the core criteria questions for something that does not meet criteria, thinking they are rejecting, when they are actually accepting? Others understand that they are not rejecting, but are making a point.
The only way to learn that “not Distinct” can be used for something that just isn’t significant is if the reviewer sees that mentioned in a group somewhere like this one. It isn’t stated that way in the tool tip. Some people refuse to use this rejection this way.
Assuming the goal of removing the “Does not meet criteria option” that we had in the old review flow is why we have the three separate core questions, what I think could fix this is to have the Core Criteria section grouped together as a fifth question, which makes a confirmation that you are rejecting the nomination pop up to submit, like the other rejections, if you all three.
And as a side note: in the previous review flow, y’all had removed “Generic business,” and I wish you would again. Many businesses do meet the core criteria.
