category tradeable chokepoint

How scores are shown

Criticality

Comes from the trace model and describes the node's dependency importance.

Evidence

Comes from the canonical Vein Graph: AI assertions, user corrections, and external sources. Provisional — needs corroboration or an external source before strong wording.

Completeness

A data-coverage label based on available summary, evidence, sources, tickers, and chokepoint rationale.

Dynamic claims are capped below 100% and AI-only edges remain labeled as inferred.
