score version
A number stamped on every stored record naming the scoring rules the numbers were computed under.
What score version does not show
When thresholds move or sections are added, the version increments; history refuses to draw a delta across the boundary and the corpus percentile refuses to rank across versions, so a grade never changes because CrawlCheck changed while looking like the site did.
