Description

We need to define the scoring elements (criteria), and their weighting factors, to evaluate the quality of scan results, working name "SCA Clarity", roughly equivalent to our scoring elements for license clarity on a specific project. To get things started, I would suggest that some major elements would be

element: number-of-exact-licenses-detected
description: the number of licenses detected with an exact license key match.

element: number-of-unknown-licenses-detected
description: the number of licenses detected with no exact license key match.

element: percentage-of-exact-licenses-detected
description: a percentage of all the license detections that identify specific license keys, as opposed to unknown license references where the text is not matched precisely to a known license.

More ideas and comments are welcome
