Newsscore

Watch out

Two fallbacks and one alpha endpoint are worth knowing about. NewsScorer() uses Jev only when the SDK is importable and TYPESAFE_API_KEY is set, and otherwise drops to a keyword lexicon scorer with a log line; the README calls that a test double and not a trading signal, and newsscore doctor reports which one you have. OpenRouter's Decisions endpoint is alpha and can change without a deprecation period. The agreement measurement, 310 AAPL articles scored down both routes with 97.1 percent impact-label agreement at kappa 0.934, 97.7 percent category agreement and a 0.095 maximum absolute sentiment difference, is offered as evidence that the provider gap is no wider than the model's own run-to-run variation, and the README correctly calls that evidence rather than a guarantee, since OpenRouter resolves typesafe/jev-1.13 to a dated build it is free to move later. Two caching consequences: switching provider means rescoring, and asking for a floating alias such as ~typesafe/jev-latest switches caching off entirely instead of filing answers under a name that may mean something else tomorrow. Aggregation weight is the product of confidence and relevance, and the headline confidence figure in the sample output is 1.000, so treat it as a normalization rather than a signal.
