Why is there no Clarity Score for Heartwood yet?

The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. Heartwood is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. A rating can be added when the charity enters our scoring dataset with enough filing data. Payment never influences a rating. How scoring works
