Sparse signal

Confidence1 of 7 signals on file

Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 5% of the signal universe on file. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 88% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 65.0 shrunk to 51.9 = 52.

What the reviewer said

From Coffee Reviews, discussing HOWL! Arturo Vega Blend:

“the one I'm thinking of most predominantly is the Julian Calderone, which is a coffee that I had some very high expectations for, but was definitely notably more developed than I was expecting going into it.”
