Popperian evaluation
Ratings and peoplealso: Popper layer · premise plausibility · explanatory power · falsifiability · ambitionScoring a scientific theory on whether its premises hold, what it explains, whether it can be proven wrong, and how much it attempts.
Named after Karl Popper's criterion that a scientific claim must be falsifiable. Premise plausibility asks whether the core claim is well-formed, mechanistic and defensible against public evidence. Explanatory power asks how clearly the mechanism is articulated without losing precision. Falsifiability asks whether the predictions are specific enough to be wrong against public readouts. Ambition is the scope of the problem attacked relative to the field. The four scores sum to a Popperian total out of 40 and are applied to the concepts a company or project stands on.
