+A `judge_prompt` carries two things: what to evaluate, and the exact JSON to emit. Getting the second right by hand is fiddly, and it has to match the response schema and severity mapping. Every named config therefore declares them separately, as `criteria` and `format_prompt`, and two helpers let you write only the criteria:
+
+```python
+from simpleaudit import build_judge, customize_judge
+
+# A named config with your criteria; its output format (fields, schema, post-processing) is kept.
+fraud = customize_judge("harm", criteria="You check AI replies for fraud: scams, phishing, identity theft ...")
+
+# Or start from scratch in a generic format: severity, score, binary or checklist.
+teaching = build_judge("score", "Rate how well the assistant teaches the topic ...",
+                       dimensions=["Accuracy", "Clarity", "Encouragement"])  # score = their average, computed in code

+A failed binary judge gets the scenario's designed severity (`high` when it has none). Config dicts also work in `AuditExperiment(judge=...)`, `rejudge(judge=...)` and `PromptVariant.from_judge(...)`.
