Scientific Review

Scientific review on Kefiw means claims are checked against the level of evidence available, then rewritten so the page says no more than the evidence can support.

What scientific review covers

• which source families are appropriate for a page
• whether a result is measured, estimated, modeled, or heuristic
• how uncertainty, edge cases, and limitations are described
• whether an answer is being overstated beyond what the underlying model allows

What users are usually trying to do

Users often want the shortest path to a decision, but that does not erase uncertainty. They may be trying to compare options, sanity-check a formula, understand a rule, or see whether a tool result is trustworthy enough for the next step. Scientific review helps the page separate what is known, what is estimated, and what still depends on context.

What the review looks for

• Does the page clearly identify the model or standard behind the result?
• Does it state when the output is a rough estimate rather than a hard threshold?
• Does it avoid unsupported claims about accuracy, prediction, or certainty?
• Does it point the user toward the right next tool, guide, or source when more context is needed?

What scientific review does not mean

• It does not turn a simple tool into a peer-reviewed paper.
• It does not mean every topic has complete or unanimous evidence.
• It does mean the page should represent uncertainty honestly and link users toward better context when the model is thin.

Why this matters

A page can be technically correct and still misleading if it hides its evidence quality. Scientific review exists to prevent that. When Kefiw says a result is deterministic, modeled, estimated, or advisory only, the wording should match the evidence beneath it.
