## How to read the scores

- Assessments are provisional editorial judgments. Cite the profile and the underlying sources, and retain confidence, scope and unknowns.
- Unknown, not-applicable and model-dependent are different states. Missing evidence does not establish good or bad conduct.
- Company-level evidence does not establish use of a particular product or model. Account plan, model, host and route can change an assessment.
- Energy scores describe documented practices and transparency, not measured request emissions. Zero component points can mean an evidence gap.
- Published overall scores require at least four of six numerical dimensions. Preserve coverage and BDS adjustments; BDS itself is categorical.
- No named BDS target found is limited to the reviewed campaign sources and is not approval. Personalized priorities do not change the published overall score.
- Review and source-check dates describe the research, not this deployment. Fetch current primary sources when the decision requires current verification.
