Cherry's Index

Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

74

Noted

High confidence

Confidence85% coverage / 6 of 7 signals

Multiple independent source families support this score at full weight. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 0% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.
