Cherry's Index

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

49

Sparse signal

Confidence5% coverage / 1 of 7 signals

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. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 88% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

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