EVERY WEIGHT, published.
The score is computed by a deterministic rule engine from these published weights; the model never assigns the score. Registry v1.0 is built for California superior courts; each artifact cites the California authority that grounds it. Artifact selection is grounded in published California authorities. The weights are Verity Lex methodology v1.0 and reflect our judgment; they invite expert validation, not just recomputation.
