- X algorithm factor 6
- The 98%-AI stat card is a strong, self-contained visual hook, but the deflated final panel (odd color shift, no clear expression payoff) blunts the share-and-quote potential; it needs the caption to really land.

- Humor dry 7 · nerdy 6 · zinger 7 · pithy 8
- The pun turns on 'no exceptions' being the AI-flagged phrase, which is a nice bit of wordplay delivered deadpan and in minimal space, but it's a one-beat joke that doesn't escalate or surprise twice.
- Visual clarity 5
- Panel 3's bald, tie-wearing figure doesn't visually match the long-haired exec from panels 1-2, so readers may not recognize it's the same character, and the sudden warm background breaks continuity with the cooler classroom panels.
