Low confidence: original signals disagreed

Summary

Backfilled v2.0.0: action produces a mixed signal on the liberty principle (aggregated from 4 legacy actor_evaluation_scores rows).

Reasoning

Low confidence: this score aggregates 4 legacy contribution(s) whose signals did not all agree. Observed direction breakdown: toward=2, mixed=2, away=0, neutral=0. Observed alignment range: 5.00-7.00 (mean 6.25). Under Policy C methodology (user decision 7e69d4d3), the scoring pipeline applied direction-authoritative reconciliation to this contributor set and resolved the final score to 0. The result is a methodology function over the whole contributor set, not an effect of any subset.
