In standardizing the set of punctuation characters, the association needed to determine which of these many punctuation styles were teachable.

Process nasin alasa nasin alasa
In the first phase, members of the association ran a survey asking respondents about whether they (1) use, (2) use in some situations, (3) avoid in most situations, or (4) never use, thirty-eight Sitelen Pona punctuation features. Visual examples of the punctuation features were provided.
We received 505 responses to the survey.
Each feature was given a base percentage score. Those that had indicated they use the feature "in some situations" and "avoid in most situations" were respectively counted as 2/3rds and 1/3rd of a full user.
We then linearly scaled these base percentages to bring pu-style Sitelen Pona cartouches, the most universal punctuation feature of Sitelen Pona, to 100%. Punctuation features were assigned a temporary tier based on this scaled score.
- Tier 1: 90% and higher
- Tier 2: 60% and higher
- Tier 3: 30% and higher
- Unlisted: Lower than 30%
These results were then compiled and shared internally.
In second phase, we provided the results of the community survey to our members and asked them to complete a new survey: As Sitelen Pona experts, what tier of teachability did they think suitable for these surveyed Sitelen Pona features? Members were invited to consider the results of the community survey in their responses, but were under no strict obligation to do so.
Twenty-one of our members responded to the survey. The median response of members was used to determine the final tier assignments, with one exception. The Latin-style period was initially assigned to the third tier and later excluded through an unanimous informal poll, due to redundancy with the middot.
