Facet averages, against the whole catalog

Contract Quality	16.6	17.6	-1	161
Discoverability	56.1	58.1	-2	161

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.
