Mass timber assemblies carry a higher built-in moisture risk during construction than they do in service.

Under review — the register is reading the literature and will publish a conclusion once directional evidence has been indexed.

In plain terms

24 studies are indexed, but only 2 have been classified for or against — too few to state a consensus, so no share is calculated yet.

This sentence is generated from the same numbers shown below — consensus share, confidence band and the number of indexed studies. Open any section to see exactly how it was reached.

How the score is built6 weighted components, 36/100 total
Volume of evidence

2 directional studies, weighted by grade.

1/30
Study quality

Mean evidence grade 55/100 across the pool.

14/25
Agreement

Not scored: only 2 directional studies (3 needed).

0/20
Peer review

83% published in peer-reviewed venues.

8/10
Recency

Median publication year 2023.

10/10
Reproducibility

50% resolvable by DOI and independently checkable.

3/5
Where the literature disagreesNo direct contradictions in the indexed pool

No direct contradictions in the indexed pool. That is not the same as agreement — it can also mean too few directional studies have been published to disagree yet.

Every indexed record24 studies with stance, grade and citation count

Stance classification is automated and reviewed against each record's own abstract; it is a reading of the literature, not a measurement. The Evidence Score is a rule-based function of indexed metadata under method WI-EV v1.0.0 and does not constitute proof of the statement.
