How FireHydrant’s scores are calculated
The full audit trail, recomputed from the verdict data at build time through the same code that produced the leaderboard: verdict × quality × story weight per cell, cells sum to dimension scores, dimensions blend into the PA Score. Every number on the product page is reproducible from this page alone; for why the formula looks like this, see the methodology.
verdict factors: full ×1.0 · partial ×0.6 · disputed ×0.3 · none ×0.0 · n/a excluded from both sides · cell points = weight × quality × factor · cell max = weight × 10
PA Score26/100
Agent-ready 35.0 × 0.30 = 10.50
API quality 0.0 × 0.20 = 0.00
Openness 20.0 × 0.20 = 4.00
Built-in AI 43.8 × 0.15 = 6.57
Automation 30.0 × 0.15 = 4.50
(10.50 + 0.00 + 4.00 + 6.57 + 4.50) ÷ (0.30 + 0.20 + 0.20 + 0.15 + 0.15) = 25.57 ÷ 1.00 = 25.6
Scores are stored to 1 decimal; the product page’s pills round to whole numbers for display. Each dimension below shows the stories, verdicts, and cited evidence behind its number.
