Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

Strong

Preliminary

Confidence28% coverage / 2 of 7 signals

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 30% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
