Classification Legend

Takeout & Markets

The public record describes a market or takeout format rather than a dining room.

Moderate

No other signal matched. The default tier, not a middling score -- most venues land here because the public record simply says little about format.

Tradition-Focused

A named traditional format appears in the record -- sushi, ramen, bbq, tandoor, dosa, kimchi or pho. A menu signal, not a claim about authenticity or ownership.

Modern Creative

The record describes the venue as fusion or modern, and no earlier rule matched.

FRI does not infer cultural ownership from names. Classifications are based on public-record entity, license age, category, and format signals.

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.

66 of 67 candidate evaluations published (98.5%); 24 marked unverified (no identity match), 24 recorded as un-located (no geocode). Audit log: output/cuisine_essay_audit.parquet.

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.
