Marriage sources and other feedback
Hello, firstly can I say this looks great as a concept & will be incredibly useful, especially if profiles can somehow have their scores shown on trees and lists.
Here's a first chunk of feedback.
1) I really like the immediacy of this, edits to the profile are immediately reflected in the scoring. I shall be using this summary from now on to check the quality of my changes.
2) I really like the fact that you appear to ignore untagged sources in scoring.
A profile that is cluttered up with loads of untagged Person sources just makes the whole thing slower to work with, without adding verifiability in any usable way.
Maybe you could reduce the score where you found this sort of mess?
A good example is children's births - surely those sources should be limited to the child's profile (assuming there is no way of tagging the child's birth source against the Parent/Child relationship).
3) However, surely tagged, indexed, accurate marriage sourcing should be very much taken into account in the scoring, given that couple relationships are so key to the overall integrity of the Tree?
GZPH-JK1 has no indexed Person sources (as the summary points out) but her Couple Relationship's marriage event does have 2 tagged sources (one of them indexed) which you do not take into account anywhere (you clearly know that they are there - see my next example).
Conversely, re LBBQ-SJV, the summary picks up the lack of a tagged Marriage source, but indicates explicitly that this does not affect the scoring. (The relevant source is present against the Person, but obviously can't be tagged from there - another example of the clutter I mentioned above.)

The Labs version is looking brilliant and I am delighted to see that it appears Marriage tags are now being checked!
(It would still be great if the presence of a tagged Marriage source was somehow demonstrated on the main profile Details tab - I have a feeling people will put their identified Marriage source on the profile Sources tab where they won't be able to find a Marriage tag to add ...)

I agree it would be helpful to be able to tag a marriage event on the "add tag" for the vital details. I can't figure out how to tag a marriage source that is already in family tree, without having to add it again to my source box and tag from there. A simple addition of marriage on the list of tags would be extremely helpful.

To me the problem is the lack of clarity on the Details tab UI of the couple relationship's being an independent entity with its own sources. The fact that you can't search for Marriage/Divorce sources direct from the couple relationship box is just one part of that.

You both bring up good points. Documenting marriages is not yet a first class functionality. There is more work to be done here.
