In a sentence. How much each fact category counts toward the Atlas Score; weights sum to 100 at full coverage.
Each scored category carries a weight reflecting its importance to the overall picture — e.g. status 16, cultivation 14, processing 12, industrial 12, cannabis 10, trade 10, consumer 8, seed 6, cbd 6, parts 6. The 2026 rebalance shifted weight toward the productive value chain and away from consumer-cannabis status alone. Weights are renormalised over whichever categories actually have data.
