How citable is James Lane?

Solid citability

Why this score

The composite is a weighted blend of the three deterministic heuristics: content depth (43%), structured data (36%), and source freshness (21%). The measured citation rate is published as evidence but is not currently weighted into the composite — recent measurement cycles found a 0% corpus-wide cite-rate, so weighting it only penalized the sampled profiles. The bench cadence continues unchanged; the weight re-arms for operator review on the first nonzero cycle.
