Cherrybook Index (CBI)
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
50
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.

Inside this video
From Spark:
“We started in debt, you know. Generationally, we had a different way of approaching situations.”
“We wanted to kind of throw ourselves in the deep end and just think if we're going to hit this in a big way, we better jump into the deep fish.”
