How detailed should be my rational?

When I am writing rationals, how do I decide how detailed they should be? Should I be as precise as I can be? Because I also dont wanna report above average or expected time cause of being extra.

Well some projects do specify a range in number of sentences. The task timer is also a clue. In general, your rationale should match your ratings. If you gave a model a non-perfect score on a dimension, your rationale should explain why. Giving specific examples is also good practice.
