Confidence (80%) is computed numerically from these signals. The sentence prose was written by an LLM given only the structured signals as input, the LLM never sees or chooses the confidence number.
What would change our mind
Co-mentions between China and Apple recover to their prior level over 30 days, or a single high-tier story explicitly resumes the relationship.
Inversion conditions are a property of the pattern detector, not the LLM. Watch for this signal move and the claim should weaken or be superseded.
