This SmartILR rating is intended as a decision-support tool for instructors. The generated level reflects an automated analysis of discourse features, inference demands, and structural complexity in the target-language passage.

However, ILR level assignment ultimately requires professional instructional judgment. Teachers may consider additional factors such as learner population, instructional context, curriculum alignment, and assessment purpose.

Accordingly, this rating should be interpreted as a recommended starting point, and instructors retain final authority in determining the most appropriate ILR level.
