so you are able to pre-rate them
before going into SuDoku Explainer ?

That is correct. SE comsumes so much time rating puzzles that being able to predict to some degree the ED rating of SE is very useful. Without throwing away trade secrets, I can only say that I can identify whether the first move is a box single(ED=1.2), row/column single(ED=1.5) or naked single(ED=1.7,2.0,2.3).
