Defect count and cup score sometimes tell opposite story

My confusion with defect count conflicting with cup score is that the idea makes sense on paper, but practical execution looks much less clean. The more I ask around, the more I hear opposite conclusions from people who are all experienced. That usually means the answer depends on context more than people admit.

For members here who have worked with defect count conflicting with cup score, what condition makes it useful and what condition makes it mostly noise?

I disagree a little with people who say defect count conflicting with cup score is only a small detail. Small detail alone maybe yes, but several small details together can move the cup a lot.

For defect count conflicting with cup score, I only trust conclusion after I see same pattern several times. One successful run can be accident. Repetition is what make the lesson useful.

I think the bigger issue is not defect count conflicting with cup score itself but whether your baseline is stable. If baseline keeps moving, then every experiment around it gives mixed signal.

From my side this helped only on certain coffees, not on every lot. When the coffee is already forgiving, defect count conflicting with cup score does not change much. On difficult lots the effect is clearer.
