Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
64
Sparse signal
Confidence23% coverage / 2 of 7 signals
Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive. 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 43% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

Taste this against three others Cherry picks.
Brew a set side-by-side. Cherry varies the picks along axes that pair with this lot; origin, process, roast, or producer; so you learn the difference, not just drink four good cups.
