# estimate-effective-evidence-count
## Purpose
Estimate independent evidence count after discounting dependence and correlation.
## Input contract
```yaml
required: [evidence_paths, dependence_structure]
optional: [correlation_estimates, nominal_count]
constraints: [dependence assumptions and uncertainty must be explicit]
```
## Procedure
1. Count nominal paths and trace shared dependencies.
2. Assign dependence classes or correlations.
3. Estimate N_eff and sensitivity to dependence assumptions.
