“Otherwise, a 'garbage in-garbage out' outcome may be produced (Funtowicz and Ravetz 1990), which in this case is that of a composite indicator reflecting 'insincere' dimensions in relation to those desired (Munda 2005a).”

“The choice of the proper annotation, though, essentially boils down to the choice of the proper aggregation method (Munda 2005a, p. 118;OECD 2008, p. 33).”

“…at the beginning of the previous section, the interpretation of the weights could be twofold: ‘trade-offs’ or ‘importance coefficients’.20 The choice of the proper annotation, though, essentially boils down to the choice of the proper aggregation method (Munda 2005a, p. 118; OECD 2008, p. 33).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
