Patients with elevated p-tau and ISR activation may require less trazodone exposure to show pharmacodynamic effects because the drug acts on an already engaged pathogenic node. The best use of this idea is as a stratification hypothesis nested within dose-finding studies rather than as a standalone efficacy thesis.

Dimension Scores
How to read this chart:
Each hypothesis is scored across 10 dimensions that determine scientific merit and therapeutic potential.
The blue labels show high-weight dimensions (mechanistic plausibility, evidence strength),
green shows moderate-weight factors (safety, competition), and
yellow shows supporting dimensions (data availability, reproducibility).
Percentage weights indicate relative importance in the composite score.
