ASSESSMENT SCOPE

What this score covers

All included contribution titles and notes are available in English. The complete original text remains available in Chinese; both editions use the same scores and source links.

Uncovered contributions and unresolved harms are not treated as zero. This is not a complete assessment of a lifetime.

2 included contributions have incomplete evidence; the relevant gap appears with that contribution.

Original scope note

This research record currently includes 2 outcomes within a limited scope; M and attribution shares are revisable judgments. Uncovered content and negative effects not yet clarified are not treated as zero; specific gaps appear in the item-by-item explanations.

Original Chinese scope

本轮当前已列2项有限研究账;M与归功份额为可修订判断。未覆盖内容和未核清的负面作用不按零处理,具体缺口见逐项说明。

CALCULATION

How the score is calculated

Q = 10^(M/2) − 1; Lᵢ = aᵢ × Qᵢ; L = Σ Lᵢ; S = 2 × log₁₀(1 + L).

M is an outcome’s assessed magnitude and a is the person’s allocated share. A standalone score is only a per-item reference; the attributed light from distinct contributions is what can be combined.

BOUNDARIES NOT COUNTED

Not included in this score

These subjects are recorded as exclusions and are not silently treated as zero or as part of the included outcomes.

Specific institutional delivery on UN trusteeship and decolonization

联合国托管与去殖民化具体制度交付

Reason The 1945 trusteeship-draft primary text and an archive bibliography for a “Bunche drafting notebook” have been found, supporting participation in text formation; but specific personal passages, rights in trusteeship arrangements, and continuation of colonial governance require review. A positive value cannot be extracted from textual procedure alone; it remains unquantified.

Original Chinese reason

已找到1945托管草案原文及“本奇起草册”档案书目,支持参与文本形成;但个人具体段落、托管安排中的权利与殖民治理延续仍需核查。不能从文本程序中单摘正面价值,暂不量化。

U.S. civil-rights advocacy and Selma participation

美国民权倡议与塞尔玛参与

Reason Public material establishes participation and support, but not an independent major delivery distinct from that of the wider movement participants.

Original Chinese reason

公开资料证实参与和支持,但尚未证明区别于广大运动参与者的独立主要交付。

Organization and leadership of early UN peacekeeping operations

早期联合国维和行动的组织与领导

Reason The institutional organization, military deployments, and direct political consequences of missions including the Congo do not yet have a discernible net scope, so the whole item is deferred and a purely procedural positive score cannot be extracted. The Congo Special Representative role lasted only July–August 1960; visits in 1962–63 do not equal continuous field leadership.

Original Chinese reason

刚果等任务的制度组织、军事部署和直接政治后果尚未形成可辨净边界,整项暂缓,不能从中截取纯程序正分。刚果特别代表只在1960年7–8月任职,1962–63访问不等于连续现场领导。
