Facet averages, against the whole catalog
| Facet | This cohort | Catalog | Difference | Scored |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Access Clarity | 30 | 22.3 | +7.7 | 62 |
| Operational Transparency | 14.6 | 11.3 | +3.3 | 62 |
| Contract Quality | 18.5 | 17.5 | +1 | 62 |

| Discoverability | 60.8 | 60.4 | +0.4 | 62 |
| Developer Ergonomics | 16.7 | 17.9 | -1.2 | 62 |
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.
