Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

56

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 + bonuses = 56.

What the reviewer said

From Lance Hedrick, discussing Kiyonza Hill:

“people perceive the acidity as much higher in something like a Kenya coffee than they do in a dark roasted Brazil.”
