Editorial read

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

ThinLittle evidence and no strong angle. Nothing to build on yet.

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