Calibration

MEDIUM tier, this pattern is present in calibration data but with limited resolutions. Treat the confidence as a directional estimate, not a precise probability.

Entities

• Caracas (place) gravity 0.0008 · momentum -0.077 · Q1533

Signals

• n_prior 13
• n_recent 17
• direction softening
• tone_delta 2.492
• tone_prior -2.106
• tone_recent 0.386
• window_days 14

Confidence (55%) 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

Average tone for Caracas reverts to its 14-day baseline over the next 4–6 events from independent sources.

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 Watch for this signal move and the claim should weaken or be superseded.
