The proposal, step by step
3
band 1.9–3.7
superseding 3 (2.4–3.8)
- Published score stands at 3.
- A claim at level 8 is capped to 3: this kind of document cannot support more.
- The strongest supported level in the queue is 3, from 1 document.
- The evidence corroborates the published score without advancing it.
- Band widened to ±1.1: the strongest document in the queue carries a weight of 0.20, so more has been inferred than measured.
Reproducible on purpose. The weighting table is published, the same documents produce the same proposal for every issuer, and a reviewer who departs from it has to say so in the narrative. That is a weaker claim than a model that predicts outcomes, and a much more defensible one.
