Facet averages, against the whole catalog

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contract Quality | 28.7 | 20.3 | +8.4 | 46 |
| Discoverability | 63.5 | 61.3 | +2.2 | 46 |

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.
