Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

63

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 23% 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 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 72.8 shrunk to 63.1 = 63.

    I know there an incredibly popular brand that this roaster may evoke (La Cabra), but LA BARBA deserves some respect on their (very similar) name.
