## Our assessment
- Rigor:        {high / medium / low} — reason
- Small-scale relevance: {high / medium / low} — reason
- Specificity:  {high / medium / low} — crop/question match
- Transparency: {high / medium / low} — conditions stated?
- Recency:      {current / dated / classic} — year and why it matters or not
- Independence: {independent / commercial interest} — flag bias
- Corroboration: {source ids that corroborate or contradict}

## Assigned evidence level
- Level: {Known | Strong | Moderate | Limited | Anecdotal | Conflicting | Unknown}
- Type:  {scientific | practical}
