BLINDSPOT WATCH

Separate early pickup from real blindspots.

A one-source item is not a blindspot. Optics marks it as Early Pickup until enough outlets cover the same event to show a real one-side imbalance.

True Blindspots

Requires 8+ matching sources and a major source-map imbalance. If none are live, Optics keeps this section empty instead of overstating thin data.

No true blindspots meet the source-count threshold right now. Optics is still watching early pickup, stories missing center pickup, and clusters that may cross the 8-source threshold.

Early Pickup

One to three sources so far. Useful for watching a story spread, but not enough to call a blindspot.
