Evidence Scorecard
Three lenses — wording, timing, documented link. Not a single proof score.
Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.769); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.
