## Interpretation rules
- A null value means unknown/unmeasured. Do not infer it.
- Source confidence is a quality weight, not a probability that every claim is true.
- Registry download counts are activity signals, not unique users, installations, revenue, or production deployments.
- A payment quote is not proof of paid fulfillment.
- A transaction count is not automatically arms-length commerce.
- Registration is not validation.
- First-party LikenessIndex data receives no ownership bonus.
- The Machine Economy Index currently has status `baseline-forming`; no headline composite score has been published.
