Editorial read

Scored deterministically. Only candidates that fire a story trigger are sent to a model, so this one has no written angle.

InvestigateRanks high on little evidence. Worth a look, but verify before committing.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
