Grades

A++  top tier, multi-tested and high spectral for citation empirical, data driven evidence, in situ and RCT preferred where possible

A+  high grade data driven evidence with empirical value, verified and/or method provided

A  non-metaphysical data and other forms of quality empircal evidence

A-  quality empirical or very accepted anecdotal value (mythic texts, etc.)

B+  weak in data driven value, high in reliability

B  weaker in data driven evidence, medium for evidence and reliability; some subjectivity

B- metaphysical data

C  little to no data value, opinion editorials and unverified testimonials

D  philosophical conjecture about STEMM

E pseudoscientific data driven evidence

F superstitious (without a data or mythic data basis) or pure conjecture, a priori "evidence" and pure baseless numerology, flimsy 'data' or no data, etc.

A++ high STEMM value and all 3 AIM standards; important for EPEMC advancement

A+  high STEMM value and all 3 AIM standards

A  high STEMM and/or EPEMC value and some AIM standards

A- high EPEMC and medium STEMM Value OR high mimsical value and some AIM or SS standards (such as ORDA, SPACERS, etc.)

B+ decreasing EPEMC value with AIM high

B decreasing AIM value with EPEMC value high

B- decreased MESS and AIM value or medium STEMM value, particularly medical research

C+ decreased AIM, STEMM, SPACER, SS value, potentially high EPEMC but medium PEMC value

C decreased PEMC and other values

C- low EPEMC, MESS, and little AIM standards

D  divorced of most standards, especially AIM

F very weak STEMM, EPEMC, PEMC, or AIM values and standards
