## Why is there no Clarity Score for The Lantern Foundation yet?

The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. The Lantern Foundation is on the official
register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so
we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough
filing data exists — never by payment.
