| Contract Quality | 32 | 19.8 | +12.2 | 24 |
| Developer Ergonomics | 33.9 | 23.3 | +10.6 | 24 |

A facet is averaged over the members that carry it, not over the whole cohort — the “Scored” column is that count. Averaging an absent facet as zero would score our own coverage gaps as the providers’ posture.
