Good for: Tracking whether a business's facts are improving over time. Not good for: Proving anything to a specific agent in the moment. It's a summary snapshot, not a live check.

It's a snapshot, not a certificate. The score moves as facts change, a stale cancellation policy or an outdated stock count pulls it down, a newly connected, verified fact pulls it up. It's useful as a starting point and a way to track progress, not as something to chase for its own sake, the point was always the underlying facts, the score is just a way of seeing where they stand.
