Linkage Promotion Audit

Generated: 2026-03-15T09:00:29-07:00
Goal: rank split-hub components by deterministic evidence strength before any broader canonical identity promotion.
This report does not merge hubs. It measures when a scoped continuity component looks strong enough to consider stronger treatment.

Key Reads

There are 3229 split-hub continuity components in player_transition_links; 2792 are simple two-hub pairs.
4 components meet the current promote_ready bar: at least one strong evidence family, corroboration from another family, and consistent name signatures.
115 more components land in the review_queue: enough corroboration to investigate, but not enough source-global strength to promote automatically.
The most common evidence family across components is scoped_source_id with 1253 components.

Evidence Families

Method	Family	Strength	Weight	Notes
`source_native_bridge`	`source_native_bridge`	`strong`	5	Explicit bridge between pro and college source-native player pages.
`name_birth_unique`	`birthdate_name`	`strong`	4	Cross-lane continuity supported by matching name and birth date.
`initial_last_euro_unique`	`cross_source_name_chronology`	`moderate`	2	Cross-source bridge from abbreviated NCAA names to full Euro names with chronology guards.
`scoped_id_unique`	`scoped_source_id`	`moderate`	3	Strong split-hub recovery inside guarded league lanes, but those ids are not fully global.
`euro_name_unique_adjacent`	`euro_name_chain`	`moderate`	2	Unique-name Euro/pro continuity within Euro-adjacent lanes.
`ncaa_boxscore_unique_name_pair`	`ncaa_name_boxscore`	`weak`	1	Lower-division NCAA continuity supported by boxscore chronology and unique names.
`rapm_unique_name_pair`	`ncaa_name_rapm`	`weak`	1	Lower-division NCAA continuity supported by RAPM chronology and unique names.
`stable_source_id_unique`	`stable_global_id`	`strong`	5	Single source id behaves like a true person-global id across leagues.

Promote-Ready Components

These are the split-hub components that already have strong evidence plus corroboration. They are the best candidates for any future promotion from scoped continuity to stronger canonical identity treatment.

Review Queue

These components have enough corroboration to be worth inspection, but they still rely too heavily on scoped or name-driven evidence to auto-promote.

Why Most Components Stay Scoped

Most split-hub components still rely on one evidence family only, especially scoped_id_unique or lower-division name/chronology rules. Those are valuable for continuity, but not automatically strong enough for broader canonical identity treatment.

Reason	Count
Scoped-only components	3110
Components with a strong evidence family	15
Components with 2+ evidence families	183

Decision Rule

promote_ready: at least one strong evidence family, corroboration from another family, and consistent name signatures.
review_queue: multiple corroborating families with enough total weight to inspect, but without the source-global strength needed for automatic promotion.
scoped_only: continuity is real and useful, but current evidence is better treated as a scoped edge than a stronger canonical identity assertion.
