The Wikipedia 1.0 assessment system (Stub, Start, C, B, A, GA, FA…) seems to serve as a decent start for that sort of thing. 
If we are honest with ourselves, we would admit that we really need 
levels 1 to 10 for articles. It seems already to be hard to get an A, 
fairly much impossible to get GA for an "average" topic, and as we know 
only 1 in 1000 is FA (in round terms). And "expert review" = FA+ is 
another quite defensible level. I think cutting to the chase, setting 
substub = 1 and reviewed FA = 10 might be a great timesaver, and help a 
process in which less "mystique" attached to the whole business. 
Rebooting with FA = 9 sounds quite fun.
