- Total1.5Stored score → Steady (1.5–3.49)
Hiring and funding from the stored fields add up to +0.5. The stored score of 1.5 includes a judgment call the fields don't capture (often a boundary month or a round we don't count), so traction and red-flag points can't be split out exactly.
Distance (Half) is a separate read on how long the lead can last. It doesn't change the score.
