Claim
The study analyzed direct plate-interface observations from 35 seismic-reflection profiles at 15 global subduction margins, measuring roughness over 1–10 km scales and comparing it with maximum observed earthquake size at sampled sites; the authors note that further 3D observations are needed before generalizing across all global subduction zones.

Assessment
Supported
Main unresolved issue: 3 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:af72326d-9b42-831f-a5ff-e693b161b5db
Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 1 of 4 review checks has been done.
Why?
Strongest counted support: The study quantified roughness parameters over 1–10 km length scales on 35 plate-boundary faults. weight 2.000000 evidence
Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed
What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Supported.
