“ I wonder if there is something for evidence quality ranking (from weak to strong)

The PMN forum is a space for modellers, policy-makers, journalists, patients, and members of the public to pose questions and learn from one another. Participants are invited to discuss anything from technical issues, to key information for decison-making, to how models work, to needs and perspectives that have yet to be addressed.

There is a fantastic article about this issue just published in Philosophy of Science journal! Wendy Parker argues for defining model validation in terms of adequacy for purpose and describes different concepts around what makes a model adequate for purpose https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/708691 It seems like evidence quality rankings can be useful...but I doubt there is one size fits all for a ranking system. Would be good to know what others think
