DougScore Calculator

Section 6 — Artifacts, Interactive Visuals & Claude Design

DougScore Calculator

Score any vehicle using Doug DeMuro’s famous 100-point format — Weekend and Daily categories, total DougScore, and a polished results display.

Starter Prompt

Create a DougScore calculator based on Doug DeMuro’s YouTube scoring format. Score a vehicle across Weekend categories (Styling, Acceleration, Handling, Fun Factor, Cool Factor) and Daily categories (Features, Comfort, Quality, Practicality, Value), then calculate the total DougScore out of 100.

Expanded Prompt

Create a Claude Artifact called the DougScore Calculator — an interactive vehicle scoring tool built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, modeled on automotive reviewer Doug DeMuro’s signature scoring format.

Goal

Build a fun, interactive scoring tool that lets users rate any vehicle across the same categories Doug uses in his YouTube reviews, calculate the total DougScore out of 100, and display a polished results card.

Scoring Categories

Weekend Score (out of 45)

Category Max Points
Styling 10

Handling 10
Fun Factor 7
Cool Factor 8

Daily Score (out of 55)

Category Max Points
Features 15
Comfort 10
Quality 10
Practicality 10
Value 10

Total DougScore = Weekend Score + Daily Score (out of 100)
