Facet averages, against the whole catalog
| Facet | This cohort | Catalog | Difference | Scored |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contract Quality | 43.5 | 17.5 | +26 | 42 |
| Developer Ergonomics | 31.9 | 17.9 | +14 | 42 |
| Operational Transparency | 21.5 | 11.3 | +10.2 | 42 |

| Access Clarity | 27.5 | 22.3 | +5.2 | 42 |
| Discoverability | 64.1 | 60.4 | +3.7 | 42 |
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.
