The adequacy of this evidence can be judged based on the volume of reviews, consistency of user experiences, and the credibility of reviewers. This object highlights how technology facilitates the collection and assessment of experiential evidence, emphasizing the role of consensus and community feedback in shaping perceptions of product adequacy and trustworthiness.
