Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

The public Java GC-MS sheet reviewed in this pass exposes only five quantified constituents, so this record is a verified marker profile rather than a near-complete composition.
Odor intensity 90 is an archive normalization of AromaWeb's categorical 'Bold' aroma-strength band for vetiver rather than a source-native 0-100 measurement for this Java batch.
Missing source type: a directly readable public Java vetiver monograph or GC-MS table with broader constituent coverage and explicit CAS-level identifications for khusimol, isovalencenol, beta-vetivenene, and beta-vetivone.
