yogsoth-ai Strength Assessment
Evaluate the strength of claims based on their evidential support.
Minimum Yield
Protocol
- For each claim, gather all linked evidence (supporting and contradicting)
- Evaluate evidence quality:
- Source reliability (peer-reviewed > preprint > blog)
- Directness (direct test > indirect inference > analogy)
- Independence (multiple independent sources > single source chain)
- Check for defeaters:
- Undercutting defeaters (evidence that the support doesn't actually support)
- Rebutting defeaters (evidence directly contradicting the claim)
- Undermining defeaters (evidence that the evidence itself is unreliable)
- Assign strength score (0-10) with explicit reasoning via
strength-scoring - Flag claims with score < 3 as "weak" and claims with score > 7 as "strong"
SOPs Used
- strength-scoring — assign and record strength scores
- evidence-attachment — create additional evidence links discovered during assessment

Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| evidence-attachment | SOP for attaching evidence to a claim — create typed edge (supported_by, contradicts, qualifies) with evidence quality metadata. |
| strength-scoring | SOP for assigning calibrated strength scores to claims — evaluate evidence weight, count independent sources, check defeaters, produce scored assessment. |
