Enhanced automatic evaluation of hierarchical documents

A system for evaluating hierarchical documents, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• generate a canonical representation of each hierarchical path within a document;
• assign weights to each hierarchical path within the document based on the canonical representation of the hierarchical path;
• calculate a first score for each hierarchical path within the document based on:
• a corresponding weight for the hierarchical path;
• and
• identifying one or more errors within the hierarchical path based on the canonical representation of the hierarchical path;
• calculate a second score for each hierarchical path within the document based on:
• the corresponding weight for the hierarchical path;
• and
• determining whether a value within the canonical representation of the hierarchical path complies with a rule;
• and
• calculate a composite score for the document based on the first score and the second score for each hierarchical path within the document.
