Which papers matter most?

Every paper is scored on four criteria computed from the briefs. Move the sliders and the list re-ranks live.
Rank by
Safety relevance40 %

Share of the paper's findings about extinguishing, detection, toxic gas, limits or crew hazard.

Realism30 %

Evidence type (real µg > overview > ground proxy > model) and test platform scale (Cygnus > ISS > Mir > … > model).

Recency15 %

Publication year, 1993 → 2025.

Data richness15 %

Number of findings that report a measured value with units.

Scores are relative. Each criterion is scaled 0–100 across the 24 papers, then combined with your weights. The rubric and the exact keyword lists are on the Methods page.
