CSuggestive similarity
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.

Suggestive similarity
Semantic
Strong semantic alignment
Temporal
Global precedent precedes Korea
Linkage
No recorded linkage
Tier C — Suggestive similarity — semantic or keyword overlap + plausible timing
Multilingual semantic similarity
cosine similarity (method detail)0.803

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.803); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Aligned sentences

WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality (GDWQ) set global reference standards for microbial, chemical, radiological, and acceptability parameters; member states translate them into national drinking water quality standards, inspection protocols, and waterworks material safety rules.

Could also be…

  • •Parallel domestic policy development is possible.
  • •Industry or market pressure may have driven similar language.
  • •A common external shock (e.g., financial crisis, pandemic) could explain parallel adoption.

Cross-lingual similarity 45/100 (multilingual e5 embedding) — a computed signal, not proof.

Similarity type: standard-setting echo — WHO GDWQ national transposition

Caveat: semantic similarity only — this tier records a hypothesis, not proof of causal influence.

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.
