Why this verdict

  • Inspection results are getting worse cycle over cycle, not better.
  • No federal fines or payment denials in CMS’s 3-year window.

The composite number cleared 70 points, but Recommended is gated: inspection record below the Recommended bar. That rule is part of the published method.
