Facet averages, against the whole catalog

Facet	This cohort	Catalog	Difference	Scored
Contract Quality	39.7	17.5	+22.2	186
Developer Ergonomics	33.3	17.9	+15.4	186

Discoverability	65.7	60.4	+5.3	186

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.

mcp_pct counts any mcp/ artifact including ones API Evangelist derived from the provider OpenAPI; mcp_first_party_pct counts only servers the provider publishes. Prefer the latter.
