# Evidence decider

Combines social evidence into pursue, reject or wait using transparent score, author and freshness requirements. Each author contributes once; missing coverage waits. Score is not a profit probability or order permission.

Node ID: `evidence-decider` · Category: Deciders · Minimum plan: Tier 2 and above

## How it works

Combines only its upstream social enrichment into pursue, reject or wait. Connect at least one enricher before it; sibling branches cannot lend evidence. Pursue uses the Yes branch; Reject may only lead to Skip trade or End. Unavailable coverage waits without placing an order.

Each distinct author contributes only their strongest match: contract 35, name 10, cashtag 5, narrative 5. Sum is capped at 100. Require the configured score, author count and optionally at least one exact contract mention.

## Settings

| Setting | Config key | Initial value | Details |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Minimum evidence score | `minimumScore` | 60 | Per-author strongest evidence: contract 35, name 10, cashtag 5, narrative 5. Total capped at 100; not a profit probability. Editor range: 1 to 100. |
| Distinct authors | `minimumAuthors` | 2 | Editor range: 1 to 100. |
| Exact contract required | `requireContract` | Enabled | Turning this off permits weaker associations, never removes trade safety or permissions. Options: Required (true); Not required (false). |
| Maximum evidence age | `maximumAgeSeconds` | 180 | Editor range: 15 to 3600. |

### Stored defaults

## Before you run

- Requires Tier 2. Default score 60, two authors and exact-contract requirement reject weak name-only associations. A score is not a profit probability.

- Freshness uses original post/observation times. Backtests require captured point-in-time social evidence; missing history must not be replaced with today’s posts.

- A pursue verdict still needs token/entry guards, balances, trade permissions and complete protective exits. No model call is paid for each post by this deterministic decider.
