weighted_contribution sums to pre_rank_index over rows where counts_toward_index is true. The composite is the facility's percentile position of that index within its peer group, so contributions explain the input, and the rank explains the score.

Component scores and registry models
17| Score type | Score | Grade | Model | Status | Registry model notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| billing conduct | 15.1 | A | v0.1-pacpuf | default · in composite | R21. CMS PAC PUF home health 2023. Outlier share, risk-adjusted episode churn, LUPA rate. |
| chow risk | 22.0 | A | v0.1-pecoshha | default · in composite | Home health change of ownership from PECOS owner association dates, the created-for-acquisition flag, owner cohort churn and investment or holding company layering. |
| chow risk | 11.5 | A | v0.1-pos | default · in composite | Change-of-ownership footprint in the CMS Provider of Services file: control-family, legal-name and address deltas across quarterly snapshots, plus certification reset recency and Medicare tenure. |
| financial risk | 50.6 | C | v0.1-txclosures | default · in composite | Texas HHSC HCSSA closure footprint: own-licence closure, owner closure count, closure recency and branch churn, as a going-concern proxy. |
| financial risk | 43.4 | B | v0.1-txhcssa | default · in composite | Texas HCSSA current client census and service breadth. |
| financial risk | 76.0 | D | v0.5 | default · in composite | R18. |
| ownership opacity | 55.0 | C | v0.1-txhcssa | default · in composite | Texas HCSSA legal entity chain and domicile. |
| quality risk | 65.2 | D | v0.1 | default · in composite | |
| regulatory risk | 5.0 | A | v0.1-txhcssa | default · in composite | Texas HHSC HCSSA licence status. Flags active state enforcement; records status not severity. |
| regulatory risk | 45.0 | C | v0.6-pos | default · in composite | R31. Extends v0.5-pos to hospices (provider type 12): same fields, same weights, no expression change. Hospice regulatory coverage before this was 148 of 6,535 scored hospices, all from the TX HCSSA state model. SNF/NF (type 20) deliberately excluded: the deficiency-based v0.3 already covers 14,315 of 14,720 and is richer evidence than a POS compliance flag. |
| state reg risk | 0.0 | A | v0.1-txhcssa | default · in composite | Texas HCSSA licence status, tenure and branch role. |
| financial risk | 96.5 | F | v0.1 | superseded | Pre-registry model iteration, superseded by a later financial_risk rebuild. Rows retained for audit per project convention (see regulatory_risk v0.4-pos); never consumed because v_cii_api_facility_score and the composite eligibility join both require status = default. Backfilled 2026-07-26 by alert triage on model_registry_integrity. |
| financial risk | 76.5 | D | v0.2 | superseded | Pre-registry model iteration, superseded by a later financial_risk rebuild. Rows retained for audit per project convention (see regulatory_risk v0.4-pos); never consumed because v_cii_api_facility_score and the composite eligibility join both require status = default. Backfilled 2026-07-26 by alert triage on model_registry_integrity. |
| financial risk | 77.2 | D | v0.3 | superseded | Pre-registry model iteration, superseded by a later financial_risk rebuild. Rows retained for audit per project convention (see regulatory_risk v0.4-pos); never consumed because v_cii_api_facility_score and the composite eligibility join both require status = default. Backfilled 2026-07-26 by alert triage on model_registry_integrity. |
| financial risk | 76.5 | D | v0.4 | superseded | Pre-registry model iteration, superseded by a later financial_risk rebuild. Rows retained for audit per project convention (see regulatory_risk v0.4-pos); never consumed because v_cii_api_facility_score and the composite eligibility join both require status = default. Backfilled 2026-07-26 by alert triage on model_registry_integrity. |
| ownership opacity | 0.0 | A | v0.1-pecos | addressable | R21. Retained as a description of ownership structure. Deliberately NOT in any composite: inversely related to billing conduct. |
| regulatory risk | 45.0 | C | v0.5-pos | superseded | R20. Corrects the acptbl_poc_sw error in v0.4-pos; covers provider types 3 and 8. Superseded by v0.6-pos, which extends the population to hospices with no expression change. |
Rows with counts_toward_composite false come from models that are addressable or retracted rather than default. They exist and may be informative, but they did not enter the published composite and must not be summed as though they had.
