THE INDEX

Why this MSI reads 53

Draft model

4 of 15 checked public signals observed, covering 100% of the model. The score is public; the signal-by-signal reasons, source documents, and owner details are in LienSuite.

Method and limits. MSI v0.2-franklin-2026-09 weights fifteen public signals by how much each one changed the recorded two-month arm’s-length sale rate across all 315,000 one- to three-family parcels in Franklin County, reading every owner-side signal from the Auditor’s July-2026 records so no signal reads the buyer’s state, checked on a holdout the model never saw (the top 0.5% of homes by score sold at 6.7x the countywide rate, the top 1% at 5.5x).: owner does not live at the property +14, nuisance-abatement assessment +9, prior-year taxes owed, $2,000 or more +8, tax penalty on the bill +8, bought in the last two years +7, owned by a company or trust +7, delinquent utility or refuse charge assessed +5, alteration or addition permit +4, rated poor, very poor or unsound +3, roof, siding, window or deck permit -2, prior-year taxes owed -4, permit valued at $25,000 or more -5, owned for 20 years or more -8, rental registration — no response -8, registered rental -14. The "in 100 homes" figure is the model's fitted probability for this combination of signals. It describes homes like this one in aggregate; it is not a claim about this owner's intentions, and it is not LienSuite's paid deal score.
