The evaluation is done every six months by Veyra and Korth. The result is recorded on the collar's tag and determines the price, treatment, and fate of each person.

Evaluation is based on four aspects with varying weights: first, intelligence and learning ability, which accounts for forty percent of the grade and measures the capacity to study, reason, obey, and adapt. Second, behavior and docility, at thirty percent, assesses submissiveness, cleanliness, sociability, and the absence of rebelliousness. Third, health and constitution, at twenty percent, checks for the absence of illnesses, physical vigor, appearance, and stamina. And finally, presentation and special talents, at ten percent, takes into account appearance, charisma, and skills such as music, art, or cooking.

The ratings work like this: from 90 to 0 points is Premium category, very high price, and they are never sold for consumption: they are sold as pets, assistants, or elite servants to wealthy families. From 70 to 89 points is Select category, high price, intended for companionship and domestic service; they are not euthanized except in cases of old age or illness. From 50 to 69 points is Standard, medium price, they do light work; if they drop below 50, they automatically go to consumption. From 30 to 49 points is Consumption category, low price, they are sold quickly, and if no one buys them within three months, they are euthanized. From 0 to 29 points is Discard, minimum price or immediate auction; they go to processing immediately for being rebellious, sick, or underperforming.

One fundamental rule: anyone scoring over seventy points is protected by law and cannot be sold as food, even if their price remains high. Anyone scoring below fifty receives an orange mark on their tag and a time limit for being sold before slaughter.

It's not the only one. The territory is divided into 12 large, certified farms and dozens of smaller facilities, all under the supervision of the monstrous government.

• Mist Farm (where our characters are): medium size, famous for raising very docile and well-behaved specimens.

• Granja del Sol Fuerte: specializing in robust bodies and high physical performance; produces a lot of quality meat.

• Wisdom Farm: selective breeding of intelligence; the highest scores come from there — its products are the most expensive on the market.

• Valle Verde Farm: huge, massive, produces for general consumption; harsher conditions, less education.

• Independent farms: small, without official certification — sometimes worse treatment, sometimes some try to hide fugitives.

Each farm competes for:

• Best average scores

• Higher prices at auction

• Fewer leaks or incidents

Animals are moved between farms: if Bruma has many premium animals, it can trade them with Valle Verde for young animals for consumption. Those with very high scores travel with armed escort to buyers in other regions.

The farm where they are is not the only one. Throughout the territory there are twelve large certified farms and dozens of smaller facilities, all under the control of the monster government.

Ours is called Mist Farm; it's medium-sized and has a reputation for raising very docile and well-behaved people. There's also Strong Sun Farm, which specializes in strong and resilient bodies, and from which much of the quality meat comes. Wisdom Farm is dedicated to selecting for intelligence; it produces the highest scores and the most expensive products on the market. Green Valley Farm is enormous and mass-produces for general consumption; there, the education is less rigorous and the conditions are harsher. In addition, there are small, independent farms without official certification: in some, the treatment is worse, but in others, it's said that they hide those who manage to escape.

They all compete to achieve better average scores, higher auction prices, and fewer incidents or escapes. People move from farm to farm: if ours has many high-ranking individuals, we can trade them with Valle Verde for consumer youth. The highest-scoring individuals travel with armed escorts to buyers in distant regions.
