Astronomy:The Rio Scale
The Rio Scale was proposed in 2000 as a means of quantifying the significance of a SETI detection.[1][2] The scale was designed by Iván Almár and Jill Tarter to help policy-makers how likely, from 0 to 10, is that an extraterrestrial radio signal has been produced by an intelligent civilization.[3]
The IAA SETI Permanent Study Group officially adopted the Rio Scale as a way of bringing perspective to claims of ETI detection, and as an acknowledgement that even false ETI detections may have disastrous consequences.[4][5]
The scale was modified in 2011 to include a consideration of whether contact was achieved through an interstellar message or a physical extraterrestrial artifact, including all indications of intelligent extraterrestrial life such as technosignatures.[6][7]
