Datasets scored two ways
A sample of a vendor's datasets, each scored by the vendor's own tooling with the vendor's own factors, and again through the consensus flows with this list's factors on the same inventory. Where the two differ, the difference is one flow at a time: a flow that reached no consensus flow, one we have no factor for, or a factor that differs.
