Why there's no Clarity Score yet

The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. The Scratching Post (Rescue and Shelter Appeal for Cats) 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. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
