Cherrybook Index (CBI)
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
53
Sparse signal
Confidence1 of 7 signals on file
Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 5% of the signal universe on file. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 88% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 70.0 shrunk to 52.5 = 53.

From megan anderson:
“They clearly have a very deep passion and knowledge when it comes to sourcing their beans.”
“They don't call them farmers, they call them producers, because they're giving them the credit of the fact that they are the production experts.”
