Why is this a Barren?Your planet has an unusual composition that doesn't fit standard classifications, or lacks the elements needed for complex geological processes.
Barren worlds can form from uncommon element combinations or may be remnants of larger bodies that lost their atmospheres and volatile materials.
Classification Criteria:

Contributing Factors
water50
Limited water content
geology60
Some geological activity provides slow nutrient cycling
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
Organic Chemistry80
Core organic elements (CHNO) present
atmosphere70
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable
temperature100
Optimal temperature range for liquid water and life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection — but the pulsar's beams bathe this orbit in hard X-rays

Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Too warm for nitrogen and methane frost and too small to hold them as an atmosphere: those ices escaped to space, leaving water ice.
Too warm for ice and too small to hold an atmosphere: the ice sublimated, leaving bare rock.
