How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Lollipops Blighs Road hasn't been graded on a dimension, the composite uses the national average for that dimension as a placeholder. Each affected axis below is flagged est. When a new ERO review lands, the placeholder is replaced and the score may shift.
