Grade Companies

Grades ungraded companies in the Cernio database (S / A / B / C) against the user's profile using a calibration-anchored rubric. Writes `what_they_do` (3–5 specific sentences, no stale content), `location`, `sector_tags`, `grade`, `grade_reasoning` (must cite specific profile projects / technologies / preferences by name), `why_relevant`, `relevance_updated_at`, `graded_at`. Weighs engineering reputation, technical alignment, sponsorship capability, career ceiling, and growth — not numeric floors or within-batch distribution. Invoke on 'grade companies', 'grade the ungraded', 'evaluate companies', 'rate the universe', 'score the database', 'assess companies', 'update company grades', 'grade the pending ones', or after populate-db adds companies with `grade IS NULL`. Not for grading jobs (grade-jobs), discovery (discover-companies), populating (populate-db), resolving ATS (resolve-portals), or staleness audits (check-integrity). Use whenever ungraded companies exist, even if not named.
