Web Quality factor
This factor is part of Web Quality — the weighted 0..100 score that sits above Web Standards. Its weight depends on what kind of site is being measured. Web Standards items take priority; this factor only enters the score once Web Standards passes.
No matrix row defined yet — this factor falls back to a neutral weight of 1.0 across every site type until the methodology is tuned.
What this means for your business
Every legitimate certificate today gets recorded in a public ledger so fake ones get caught quickly. Browsers refuse to trust certificates that skip this step, and yours needs at least two log entries to clear the bar.

What we measure
Per-factor measurement specifications are in active drafting. The short description here is the title in the registry; the full spec ships with the next method version.
How to improve your score
Each factor is included because it has a documented effect on at least one of: site discoverability, technical reliability, user trust, or compliance posture. The detailed remediation guidance will appear here once the factor specification is finalized.
