Supply and activity each carry one-third of the score; negotiation is the equal average of last-ask discount and contract-cohort DOM ranks and carries one-third. Supply, discount and DOM ranks are reversed. Activity uses contracts divided by new listings over the trailing three months. The headline is rounded only after calculation.
