Sparse signal
Confidence2 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 23% 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 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 68.9 shrunk to 60.9 = 61.

Two independent Reddit threads give Flat Track Coffee a mixed but favorable picture. One Austin guide praised the staff and coffee, while another visit disappointed the poster even as a local commenter called Flat Track a personal favorite.
