Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
64
High confidence
Confidence63% coverage / 4 of 7 signals
Multiple independent source families support this score at full weight.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 0% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
