How can students evaluate trade-offs in a seating plan instead of accepting the first layout?

I am designing an adult digital-literacy activity about plans that look simple but contain competing constraints. A seating arrangement is a useful example: learners must distinguish fixed facts such as room capacity, exits, aisle width, accessibility, and supervision from softer preferences such as keeping groups together or improving sight lines.

My proposed activity has small teams create a first draft, exchange it with another team, and audit it from three perspectives: data completeness, physical usability, and fairness of the stated rules. They must explain every revision and keep an unseated list so that a visually tidy diagram cannot hide an omitted person. For an editable project example, I am considering seating-chart-maker.org/ because it supports arranging tables, importing a guest list, assigning seats, revising the layout, and exporting a copy. This is a project-associated, AI-assisted question, not a claim that the tool can verify venue rules or accessibility on its own.

What rubric would best assess critical thinking here? I am considering evidence quality, identification of hard constraints versus preferences, willingness to revise after peer feedback, and whether the final explanation acknowledges uncertainty. Would you score the visual layout separately from the reasoning process, or make the reasoning the main outcome?
