The score combines closure rate (70% weight) and year-over-year trend (30% weight). Closure rate measures the percentage of rate-eligible permits (those older than one year) that have been closed. Trend measures the change in closure rate compared to the prior year, clamped to +/- 10 percentage points.
Grade scale: A (90+), B (75-89), C (60-74), D (40-59), F (below 40).
