The six rating axes, one by one
A closer look at each axis of the AI scan: what it reads in a photo, what distorts it, and what a high or low value is actually telling you.
Six separate readings of one photo
A cock rating score measures six things, each scored on its own: size, shape and proportions, skin texture, head, overall appeal and erotic impact. The total is a summary of them. How AI cock rating works explains how they combine; this page goes through each axis in turn.
Every axis is read from the photo, so each one has its own weak spot - a particular way a bad photo drags it down. Knowing which is which is how you tell a real result from a photographic one.
Size
Size is the axis people check first and read too much into. It is one input of six, not the score, and a photo can only estimate it - lens distance changes apparent size more than most people expect, which is why the photo guide says to step back and crop.
Read a low size value next to your shape value. If both are low, suspect a close, downward shot before anything else. For how sizes are actually distributed, the answer is a clinical one - what your score means covers why a scan is not a measurement.
Shape and proportions
Shape is about how the parts relate to each other rather than how big anything is. Because it reads ratios, it is the axis most sensitive to camera angle: shooting down foreshortens the frame and hands the model different proportions from the ones you have.
If shape is your lowest axis and the others are fine, re-shoot level with the subject before drawing any conclusion. It is the axis with the cheapest fix.
Skin texture
Skin texture reads the surface: tone, evenness and condition. It depends on light more than any other axis, because a flash straight down the lens turns surface detail into glare and the model can only score what it can see.
A texture value well below your other physical axes is the clearest sign of a lighting problem. Side light from a window is the fix, and the photo guide explains why.
Head
Head is scored on its own because it varies independently of overall shape - two photos with the same shape value can differ here. Framing matters here as it does for shape: too close and the wide-angle lens distorts it, so step back and crop rather than moving in.
If you use Custom Persona, head is one of the focus areas you can pick, which is the way to get a written rating that spends its words on this axis specifically.
Overall appeal
Overall appeal is the first of the two subjective axes: the model’s read of the photo as a whole rather than any one part. Background, crop and clutter all feed it, which is why a plain background is one of the cheapest improvements available.
Erotic impact
Erotic impact is the second subjective axis, and the most about presentation. It is the model’s read of the photo’s effect rather than of anatomy, so it moves most between two photos of the same subject.
If both subjective axes sit well below your physical ones, the gap is almost certainly the photo. Change the light and framing, run the scan again, and compare breakdowns; the leaderboard lets you open other entries’ six-axis charts to see what a balanced profile looks like.
