Candles and bars need the day’s open, high and low, and need room to be drawn in: past about a year of trading a body is thinner than a hairline, so those three offer the longest window that fits instead.

A measure absent from a block could not be computed from this company's filings. It is left out rather than scored as though it were bad, and the dimension is averaged over what remains. A score is measured against a fixed scale this model states; the bar is measured against the other companies, so the two can disagree — and where they do, that disagreement is the more interesting figure.
