Cherry's Index

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

55

Sparse signal

Confidence5% coverage / 1 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 88% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

Missing: SCA grade, Coffee Review, Reddit sentiment, YouTube reviews, Buyer reviews, Cherrybook tastings
