Clinics are excluded from a profile when the qualifying service is verifiably absent or when we could not verify the data needed for this profile.
Scores are normalized to a 100-point scale per the open methodology, including a red-flag penalty of up to 20 points. Category columns show raw points. Unverified data scores 0 points and is listed on each clinic page as "unverified", not as a negative finding.
