Methodology · v1

The LHB Proprietary Scoring System.

Every score published on a database profile is editor-assessed against a defined framework, carries a confidence rating, and references the methodology version under which it was produced. As underlying data deepens, scores can transition from editorial assessment to algorithmic computation without changing the published record.

Confidence ratings

Every score carries an explicit confidence rating — low, medium, or high — reflecting the depth of underlying evidence. Low confidence scores are treated as directional rather than definitive.
