Field notes
The rubric weights zone method most heavily at 28%, followed by stump specification at 24% and documentation at 22%. Its zone definitions run from 0–5 feet around the structure to 30–100 feet out. The page says missing published information earns zero, while also cautioning that a contractor’s published record may not reflect the quality of work on a property.
