Why a pending licence predicts this purchase
A liquor licence application is filed before a venue opens and usually before vendors are chosen. FirstVendor scores each on how recently it was filed, what the licence type implies about the buildout, and how many licence records support it. The likelihood column is estimated from venue type — it is a prediction, not an observed purchase.
