Why this should exist
Coffee-themed Hawaii gifts are active, but the crowded center is generic roast humor rather than island-specific phrasing.
Signal strength is 80.6, which puts this family in the stronger opportunity tier.
Signal confidence is 80.6, so the radar evidence is coherent rather than noisy.
Freshness is 89.02, so the signal still looks current rather than stale.
