We hold 113 venues in Louisville, KY and could score 15 of them. Positions are counted against those 15.
v1.7.4 30.3/100 = sourcing 17.0/50 (named-farm 2 distinct [anson-mills (producer/exemplary) x1.00, unresolved (data error — see venue flags)], named-region 2 distinct of 4, attribute 1 distinct [class=provenance-adjective x0.50], buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 12.9/20 (best: anson-mills at 64.4, linked by a named-farm claim) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.5/18. DATA ERROR: PARTIALLY UNLINKED: 1 named-farm signal(s) with no venue_farms.signal_id citation — scored at the neutral 0.6 weight: Anson Mills
1 signal is withheld while we re-check the source. It cites a menu capture that failed our plausibility review — a page that didn’t look like a real menu when we re-read it. The claims may well be accurate; we don’t publish evidence we can’t stand behind, and the ranking above was scored before this check, so it still counts them.
