Evidence classes
Evidence classes
Every numeric or capability claim should carry an evidence class:
| Class | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SOURCE | Taken from an authoritative source (model card, GGUF metadata, GPU spec, docs). |
| CALCULATED | Deterministically derived from source values with a documented formula. |
| ESTIMATED | Informed range or approximation (for example runtime overhead). |
| POLICY | Site rule or safety threshold (for example weights-only band edges). |
| OBSERVED | Measured in a controlled or legacy run. |
| COMMUNITY | External report; not ground truth by itself. |
Pages today primarily use SOURCE, POLICY, and optionally OBSERVED (methodology-v0).
Weights-only bands are not full fit or KV totals. Do not treat them as calculated fit results.
