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.
