Sparse signal

Confidence2 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 23% 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 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 75.0 shrunk to 64.4 + bonuses = 65.

One thread author notes trying a subscription for ultra-light roasts from September, receiving two bags with a description and roasted about two weeks prior. Another commenter describes the September Coffee Elto Natural 74158 from Ethiopia as still as good as it is, noting it is very juicy.
