{
  "summary": "Alpine Foods looks like a growth-stage food distribution business where commercial momentum depends on partner trust, category expansion discipline, and operational execution more than pure brand awareness.",
  "decisionCard": {
    "verdict": "proceed-carefully",
    "headline": "Proceed carefully with Alpine Foods as a real target, but validate one trust-critical proof point before treating the story as durable.",

      "The request already names a company, site, category, geography, claims, and operating signals.",
      "The public posture is specific enough to support a useful first-pass decision instead of just loose curiosity.",

    "missingProof": [
      "There is still no outside proof yet that category expansion is translating into durable operating quality.",
