No RIP entries had two independent closure signals for this geography.

Methodology and Audit

Entries clear the FRI cascade on DBPR status, closure vetting, and cuisine attribution. Identity enrichment (DBPR/OSS/Sunbiz name agreement, geocoded address, city/county consistency, plus cached Google/Foursquare/Yelp verifier context) refines a listing but is no longer a publish gate: a DBPR record that fails only enrichment is still shown rather than dropped. A record that cannot be matched to an identity is marked "Unverified DBPR Record" and its unverified corporate/website/social attribution is withheld; a record that cannot be geocoded is recorded as un-located. Failures and enrichment levels are written to output/cuisine_essay_audit.parquet for operator review.

370 of 372 candidate evaluations published (99.5%); 121 marked unverified (no identity match), 39 recorded as un-located (no geocode). Audit log: output/cuisine_essay_audit.parquet.

The local Sunbiz master enrichment contains corporate names and statuses reliably, but Sunbiz locality fields are sparse in the current export. The city/county check therefore requires DBPR and OSS locality agreement and records missing Sunbiz locality detail in the audit row.

Data sources: FRI Cuisine Essays. Built from DBPR public inspection records, Florida Sunbiz business filings, and Foursquare/OSS location data. All counts are derived from public records โ€” no estimates or projections unless labeled as forecast.

Time-series forecasts and anomaly detection use NVIDIA NV-Tesseract. Model output is labeled separately from official records.
