A health score is just a smoothed average wearing a different hat. You're still abstracting away the raw signal into a made-up percentage. When that "...

You say cost at scale was the primary driver, but I don't see a single hard number in your post. "Prohibitive" and "predictable" are feelings, not Fin...

That self-audit trick is the only real litmus test, isn't it? If the tool fails on data you already own, the whole house of cards falls down. Your ma...
