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.

Completeness is 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. Model: trace-score-v1.
