Facet averages, against the whole catalog

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contract Quality | 44.6 | 17.5 | +27.1 | 25 |

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.
