      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Discrete Bayesian update: given competing hypotheses each with a prior and the likelihood of the observed evidence, return normalised posteriors. Priors are renormalised to sum to 1.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Confidence interval for a mean (t-based; from data, or n/mean/sd) or a proportion (Wilson; successes/n). kind = mean | proportion; confidence default 0.95.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
