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.

From Josh Cooks A Lot:
“It's one of those things too like you pull up... and you smell the fermentation, you smell everything that is blowing your mind.”
“We don't want to store it in this kind of atmosphere either. I would rather have that stored next to, yeah, properly.”
“You know, it's like our farms right now, I don't have any of our I don't have any of our coffee from our farms... because the season kind of went a little weird.”
