Experience & practicality
Two transparent read-time scores. Unknown facts never count for or against a place, and a score is never used as filter evidence.
Experience
Published recreation and setting.
6.3/ 10
Documented depth: 10 of 16 evidence weight, from 4 published facts. A low number means little is published, not that the place is poor.
Why
- Lake at the site
- Mountain setting
- Forest setting
- Water nearby
Practicality
Published logistics: access, cost, facilities.
—/ 10
Not enough data. Only 3 relevant facts have been published for this record, so no score is shown rather than an invented one.
Why
- Camping is published as allowed
- Cost is published
- $25 or less per night
Partially supported: only one of the two dimensions has enough published evidence, so this record is not presented or ranked as the equal of a fully documented one.
Methodology nmr-score-3.0.0. Park-level activities feed Experience only; campsite facts feed Practicality only. Experience measures how much recreation and setting evidence is published; Practicality is the published positive share scaled by how much of the logistics catalogue has been documented, so a handful of positives can no longer read 10/10. Unknown is never treated as a no. Neither dimension is used to filter search results, and “Best” ordering ranks fully supported records above partially supported ones.
