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

Sparse signal
Confidence23% coverage / 2 of 7 signals
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. 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.

Ultimo Coffee is recognized as a staple of the Philadelphia specialty coffee scene, frequently mentioned alongside local peers like Elixr and ReAnimator.
