Why did the score move?

This page separates score drivers, public trends, model caveats, and data freshness so users can inspect the signal before accepting a recommendation.

Score explainability

Why the top state moved into the action queue

The score is a capped public-data triage model. It is designed to rank review priority, not to forecast production, sales, or customer demand.

Construction demand context

Census BPS state permit units

Public building-permit units help show where construction activity may be more relevant to downstream wood panel, adhesive, and resin demand. This is context, not a sales forecast.

Model cards

How the analytics should be trusted

State action score

Rank states for operating review using public signals.

Formula

risk = 0.30 weather + 0.22 demand + 0.15 facility + 0.12 cost + 0.12 momentum + 0.09 regional concentration - confidence penalty

Inputs

  • NOAA/NWS active alerts
  • BLS cost movement
  • public facility/compliance context
  • regional modifier

Limitations

  • State-level triage only
  • Not a facility-level forecast
  • Public-data latency varies by source

Source health

Show whether the current build is relying on live or cached public data.

Formula

live provider count, cached provider count, and audit manifest hashes

Inputs

  • live-bundle.json
  • audit-manifest.json

Limitations

  • A live connection does not guarantee the source has new observations
  • cached-valid means the latest fetch failed but a prior public payload is still being used transparently

BLS cost pressure

Show latest public producer-price movement for tracked cost series.

Formula

latest BLS point versus prior point and trailing series direction

Inputs

  • BLS public API time-series data

Limitations

  • BLS series are proxies and may not map one-to-one to resin or wood-panel costs

NCDC climate probe

Show recent public station observations for weather context.

Formula

recent daily TMAX/TMIN/PRCP values from a documented station

Inputs

  • NOAA NCDC / NCEI GHCND station observations

Limitations

  • Single-station probe until regional station coverage is expanded

Public facility/compliance context

Add public industrial footprint context for priority states.

Formula

public chemical-sector facility rows and map clusters by state, capped in the state score

Inputs

  • EPA ECHO public get_facilities
  • EPA ECHO public get_map

Limitations

  • Clusters are public compliance-context signals, not production capacity or company exposure

Census construction-demand context

Show where public building-permit units may indicate downstream construction activity relevant to wood panels and adhesives.

Formula

state permit units normalized against the current public BPS state file, capped as a small score component

Inputs

  • U.S. Census Building Permits Survey state monthly file

Limitations

  • Permits are demand context, not guaranteed starts, completions, resin demand, or company sales

Source trust

Public data freshness and usability

`cached-valid` means the latest fetch failed but a prior public payload is still used and disclosed. Missing sources are not allowed to create unsupported claims.
