BProbable echo

Evidence tier

Echo patterns are similarity-based hypotheses, not proof of causation. Open the sources and evaluate the linkage yourself.

Evidence Scorecard

A single score cannot prove an echo. This card triangulates semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.

Probable echo

Semantic

Strong semantic alignment

Temporal

Global precedent precedes Korea

Linkage

Official Korean agency source + concept alignment (no explicit citation recorded)

Tier B — Probable echo — agency/committee linkage + global-first timing + semantic signal

Multilingual semantic similarity

cosine similarity (method detail)0.834

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.834); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Aligned sentences

The CWC Annex on Chemicals classifies toxic chemicals into three Schedules, with Schedule 1 facing the strictest transfer restrictions including a ban on trade with non-States Parties.

Score Guide

Confidence — Editorial judgment, now shown as a confidence tier (A–D) based on semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence. Not proof of causation.

Echo Strength — Metadata completeness score. Rewards verified sources, paired links, explicit dates, keyword diversity, and origin tags.

Vocabulary Overlap — Heuristic score measuring shared tokens between global and Korean texts. Reflects loanwords and repeated terms, not meaning across languages.
