Research
Evidence quality should change how confidently a result is interpreted, not silently rewrite the substantive score.
Keep quality separate
A substantive reading and the confidence attached to that reading are different concepts. PolisMetric keeps the distinction visible.
Sensitivity matters
Where source quality varies, internal validation tests whether conclusions remain stable under stricter evidence standards. Production construction remains proprietary.
Why transparency matters
Users should know when evidence is stronger or weaker while the production construction remains proprietary.
Research standard: framework notes explain concepts, interpretation and limitations. Proprietary scoring parameters and implementation details are not published as a replication recipe.
