3 Moderate: the site was mapped according to the best guess of several alternatives, or within a quarter section and/or a reliable informant provided information on the site.

4 Low: the mapper is skeptical of the location given for a site, or whether the site exists as described and/or the site was mapped using information provided by a local informant and not evaluated by a professional.

5 Very low: the mapper is highly skeptical of the location of a site or whether the site exists as described and/or the site information was based on rumor or hearsay.
