The more I think about it, I like this. Always assign the Blue label and the Blue Label grade. Somewhere show the Qualified grade.Maybe the Blue Label comments could be designed like a double cover with two grades.In summary, eliminate the Green Label altogether, nobody likes it anyway. The Blue Label should clearly state the Qualified defect.
Thanks Bob. I have been spouting this for a while not that my voice or opinion mean anything but when I got the book below back from one of my submissions a long time back, I thought this method would the best.
My other thought is if no change, then contact the submitter to offer them the choice of GLOD or Blue and what each grade would be so you could make the most informed choice. Now on the book below, I would have to resubmit and ask for a blue without knowing exactly what the Blue grade would be. I assume it would be a 5.5 or 6.0 but when I subbed it, I didn't realize I had a choice but even if I did without knowing the corresponding grade, it would have made the choice difficult (although a Blue is much more appealing in almost circumstance due to the stigma of the green.)
