I've gotten seven 10s out of the 39 shops I have done for them. The others were 7s, 8, and 9s. Funny thing is with the 9s there was often the same comment I got with the 10s: "Great job, thank you! Nicely written! Your report was well written and required little or no editing!" Some shops got no comments at all other than a note about when to expect payment. I haven't done much for them in the past few years.
The same thing has happened to me. I was curious about it last year, so I contacted them and asked politely if they could give me some suggestions for improvement so I could turn those 9's into 10's. The response I got was that my reports were excellent as evidenced by the same comments I received on the shops that did receive a 10. The reason I was given for the 9's on some reports was that the report was easier than the others and a 9 was equivalent to a 10 on a more difficult report. I didn't completely understand this logic, but hey, I'm still getting paid and they are happy with the quality of the work.
So, as long as they are happy and I'm getting paid, I don't sweat the 9's any longer.
