About

Classify the type and assess the strength of evidence in a claim. Identifies what KIND of evidence is being presented (anecdotal, statistical, expert opinion, etc.) and rates how strong it is for supporting the claim. Perfect for: - Fact-checking (what's the basis for this claim?) - Research review (what evidence tier is this?) - Critical reading (how should I weight this?) - Argument analysis (is the evidence appropriate?)
