SCORING MODEL: VV SIGNAL SCORE 1.0
A score for separating useful signal from health noise.
VV Signal Score 1.0 is the scoring model used across Viral Vitalism articles to summarize the strength and usability of a health claim. It translates the VV Evaluation Matrix v1.0 into a clearer reader-facing signal.
What the Score Is
The score is not a medical recommendation, certainty rating, or universal truth label. It is a structured summary of how much signal appears to exist based on the available evidence, uncertainty, risk, and context.
What the Score Considers
Evidence quality
Human relevance
Mechanistic support
Safety and downside
Replication
Incentive distortion
Cost and practicality
Testing and measurability
Population specificity
Confidence level
What a High Score Means
A high VV Signal Score suggests that a claim has stronger support, clearer human relevance, better-defined risk, and more practical usefulness. It does not mean “do this.”
What a Low Score Means
A low score does not always mean a claim is false. It may mean the claim is early, speculative, overhyped, poorly measured, too risky, or not yet supported by meaningful human evidence.
How It Connects to the Matrix
VV Signal Score 1.0 is derived from the same thinking behind VV Evaluation Matrix v1.0. The Matrix creates the structure. The Score makes the result readable.
