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 55.0 shrunk to 50.6 = 51.

Inside this video
From KSPS PBS Public TV:
“By offering only 100% organic coffees that are fairly traded and sustainably grown, Roast House has created a niche for itself in the Spokane coffee market.”
“The coffee has to be transparent. So you have to be able to clearly define where it came from, who produced it. It has to be fairly traded, and it has to be grown sustainably.”
