Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

62

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 66.7 shrunk to 59.6 + bonuses = 62.

Inside this video

From Sam and Victor:

“We haven't been to the city for like 10 years now, but we're here mostly because my close friend moved here from Hong Kong.”
“Other than that, our plan is to hit up a few coffee shops in the city. Check out the coffee scene here and see if they're legit, they're good.”
