N2 - Assessment of elaboration in concept generation is critical, as it functions as a communication tool for the designer to iterate on solutions and to convey the generated ideas to other stakeholders involved in the early stages of the design process. Further, design educators may offer feedback to students about the elaborateness of their sketches, so they may fine-tune their techniques and optimize their sketch "literacy." Although metrics exist for sketch complexity, product elaboration, and sketch quality, a gap remains in assessing elaboration. In this paper, we report on the development of an elaboration metric to evaluate concept representations as a means to facilitate greater understanding of designers' ideas and their iterative improvement.
