Let's set a palatable objective

I'm really impressed with your turnaround time. Some of them are reviewed within only a couple of days. I guess it's easier for that to happen when you only need one person to sign off on it. Some of them take closer to a month, but that's to be expected for articles that don't meet the assessment and need more work.

I think this could be a model for measuring baseline quality. You have one independent editor read the article, and check it against some basic standard before signing off on in. It would actually be a lower (or different) standard from a strong B, IMO. It wouldn't need to be as close to featured status. For example, I would be comfortable with signing off on a short article with only partial research so long as it were written in a basically neutral tone. It's a basic safety standard, rather than a seal of excellence.
