Trust score weights and verdict thresholds are uncalibrated placeholders #6

Description

@pitah23

Problem

SIGNAL_WEIGHTS (src/scoring/signals.ts) and VERDICT_THRESHOLDS / COVERAGE_ELIGIBILITY_THRESHOLD (src/scoring/thresholds.ts) are explicitly documented as v1 guesses, "not calibrated against real scam-vs-legitimate outcome data yet." This directly drives the public trust score shown to users and insurance coverage eligibility, so it deserves a tracked workstream instead of living only as a code comment.

Location

  • src/scoring/signals.ts
  • src/scoring/thresholds.ts

Suggested fix

Track as a standalone workstream: collect labeled outcomes (confirmed scams vs. legitimate projects that survived N months), backtest current weights/thresholds against them, and document a calibration methodology before removing the "provisional" caveat from the README.
