How it contributes.
{
"component": "huggingface-model-index.*",
"scale": "0-100",
"mode": "conditional",
"weight": 0.8,
"contribution": "component x 0.8 / total weight"
}The adapter’s components are averaged into the composite as a weighted mean: every contributing adapter’s component is multiplied by its weight, summed, and divided by the total weight of contributing adapters. The result is published as trustScores.total with a config version and timestamp so anyone can recompute it.
