Constraint-Weighted Prospect Evaluation

Not all geological observations carry equal interpretive value.

Some constraints exhibit long-duration persistence.

Others possess limited support or uncertain significance.

This paper evaluates prospect assessment through weighted constraints rather than equal treatment of all observations.

Evaluation Principle

Prospect quality improves when conclusions depend upon multiple high-confidence constraints rather than isolated indicators.
