Northscore
Quality score with explicit source coverage. Methodology
46
Preliminary
Confidence30% coverage / 2 of 7 signals
Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 25% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

Tasting flight
Taste this against three others Cherry picks.
Brew a set side-by-side. Cherry varies the picks along axes that pair with this lot; origin, process, roast, or producer; so you learn the difference, not just drink four good cups.
