- Rating Rule
- Composite score blends GDELT (30%), Archive TV (35%), and AI enrichment (35%) where available; weights renormalize when a signal is absent. When AI is the only available signal, confidence is dampened toward 50 (formula: 50 + (score − 50) × 0.6). Recent video coverage from the last 7 days adds a 15% weight when qualifying videos exist. Bullish at 65+, Bearish at 35 or below, Neutral in between.
