Model score: 34/99 — what these reason lines add up to.
Published Authority (percentile): 67/100 — this site's rank against the August 2026 scored sample. Public Authority is capped at 99.
Safety evidence
No unexpired threat-feed result; name-similarity check available (recorded about 3 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 3 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.
