Illustrative feedback on a made-up commentary — this is what Wenzify gives you for your own IA.
Minimum wage and unemployment
A well-structured commentary with clear diagrams and confident use of terminology. The analysis is mostly sound, but the evaluation and the link to your chosen key concept could be developed further to reach the top mark bands.

“Housing shortage in Dublin” also uses an article from bbc.com. Each commentary must use a different source.
Cover details
Key concept (Intervention) and word count (762) are on the cover.
Each unmet requirement can cost a mark from criterion F, which is marked once for your whole portfolio.
Focus on these first
The highest-impact changes, in order.
Deepen your analysis of unintended consequences
Trace the full chain of reasoning rather than stating the outcome. Show how a higher wage floor works through costs and hiring decisions to affect employment.
Analysis paragraph (Criterion C)
Make your evaluation balanced and reasoned
Consider short-run vs long-run and different stakeholders, then reach a judgement that clearly follows from your analysis.
Concluding evaluation (Criterion E)
Integrate your key concept throughout
Use the concept of intervention as a lens across the commentary, not just as a single label.

Criterion breakdown
Criterion A
Diagrams
2 / 3
How to improve
- Add the real wage figures from your article to the axes
- Refer to the labelled areas explicitly when you explain the surplus
To reach 3/3
Label every point you discuss (We, Qd, Qs, MC₂) and use those labels in your explanation of both diagrams, tied to the article's figures.
Diagram by diagram
Image 1 · Labour market with a price floor
Figure 1 – Minimum wage in the labour market
Analysis, after paragraph 2
- Mark We, Qd and Qs on the axes and shade the surplus of labour
- Add a title naming the article's country and the new minimum wage
- Refer to Qs − Qd explicitly when you explain unemployment
Image 2 · Firm cost curves
Figure 2 – Effect on firms' costs
Evaluation paragraph
- Label the shifted curve MC₂ and add an arrow from MC₁
- Refer to Figure 2 in the text and explain the new output level
Criterion B
Terminology
2 / 2
How to improve
- Maintain this precision when introducing evaluation terms
Criterion C
Application and analysis
2 / 3
How to improve
- Trace the mechanism step by step: higher wage → higher costs → fewer hours
- Connect each step back to the article’s context
To reach 3/3
Develop every link in the chain of reasoning, not just the first, and apply each step to the article's hospitality employers and wage figures.
Criterion D
Key concept
2 / 3
How to improve
- Return to the key concept in your analysis and evaluation, not just once
To reach 3/3
Explain why intervention is the right lens for this article and return to it when you weigh the policy's effects, not only in one sentence.
Criterion E
Evaluation
1 / 3
How to improve
- Weigh short-run vs long-run effects and different stakeholders
- End with a judgement that follows from your analysis, not an assertion
To reach 2/3
Weigh at least two perspectives — for example workers versus employers, or the short run versus the long run — and reach a judgement your analysis supports.
