FW Ratio: 67%
Observable Facts
The article presents direct perspectives from four named domain experts with specific professional affiliations (Zayenz from Gecode, Bradford from Nosey Parker security tool, Nicole formerly at graph database company, Kelly from NetworkX library).
Author explicitly states research methodology and stopping criteria: 'After these four people all gave similar answers, I stopped interviewing and start writing.'
Interview subjects are directly quoted at length discussing technical problems from their professional experience with specific examples (Bradford's Nosey Parker traversal problem, Nicole's graph database optimization challenges).
Content includes verifiable citations to external sources (NetworkX 500+ algorithms, Petgraph library, Alloy formal specification language) with specific data points.
Inferences
The transparent research methodology—particularly the decision to stop interviewing once saturation was reached—demonstrates intellectual integrity about scope limitations rather than pursuing an agenda.
Selecting experts from distinct domains (constraint solver, security tools, databases, graph libraries) rather than a single perspective indicates commitment to representing diverse technical viewpoints.
