Facet averages, against the whole catalog

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contract Quality | 34.9 | 17.8 | +17.1 | 72 |
| Access Clarity | 42.3 | 26.5 | +15.8 | 72 |

| Operational Transparency | 21.8 | 13.8 | +8 | 72 |
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.
