Evaluate scientific claims and evidence quality using evidence grading frameworks (GRADE, Cochrane Risk of Bias), assessing experimental design validity and identifying biases, confounders, statistical pitfalls, and logical fallacies. Use when judging evidence quality, grading certainty of evidence, spotting design or causal-inference flaws, identifying biases or confounders, naming statistical fallacies, or teaching critical analysis. For writing a formal submittable peer review use alterlab-peer-review; for a multi-reviewer mock panel verdict use alterlab-paper-reviewer; for IRB/consent/conflict-of-interest ethics use alterlab-research-ethics. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Unproven: rated by static analysis only, not yet compared head-to-head.
Not launch-quality. It is graded B with a clean safety verdict, but our quality filters exclude it: it is a near-duplicate variant of another skill. So it is not in our launch-quality set, the skills our MCP server searches and recommends. How launch-quality is decided
