Relative to my question, what you've said is that you have a scaling factor 
specifically for the TIS hits.  That lets you tune its specific confidence level.

But you don't cite any of the "good" attributes, nevermind scaling factors, per 
your reference to good/bad.

I'm being pedantic because it was the differential nature of postive vs. 
negative measurements that intrigued me, in terms of practical impact.
