## Geocoding Confidence (DO NOT assume perfect coords)
| Confidence | # Cities | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| high | 293 | single unambiguous match, state confirmed |
| not_found | 7 | Nominatim returned nothing |

| medium_state_mismatch | 5 | top match's state disagrees with folder hint |

| low_ambiguous | 3 | multiple candidates found across different states |

Full city-level detail (lat/lon/candidates/queries tried) in `cities_needs_review.csv` for anything not `high`. **Manually verify those before trusting them in AtmosIQ's node graph.**

## Data Quality: State-Prefix Mismatches
Folder-name state prefix vs geocoded actual state disagreed for **69** unique station/city combos. Full list in `state_mismatch_audit.csv`. Sample:
