Cherrybook Index (CBI)
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
64
Sparse signal
Confidence2 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 17% 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 57% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 82.9 shrunk to 64.0 = 64.

How ratings count toward the Index
To count toward Cherrybook Index, an aggregate must come from a supported source, match this product, include at least 5 ratings, and have been refreshed within 90 days. Its weight is 12% for 5–24 ratings, 15% for 25–99, or 18% for 100 or more. Higher tiers require another base signal; a ratings-only lot stays at 12%.
