How to read the score

• 0–10, one decimal: 7+ is a strong scene, 5–6.9 solid, below 5 thin.
• Seven factors — scale, variety, quality, availability, prices, safety, legal status — weighted into one number. Data freshness is tracked separately: it says how current our picture is, not how good the scene is.
• Only fully covered locations get ranked; a partial picture never inflates a score.
• The score moves with fresh reports — it is recalculated every time the data changes.
