?Tech StackExcluded: custom build, partial scanWhy excluded
Lume runs a custom or headless storefront where our scanner sees very little (0 apps detected). A low number here would reflect our scanner, not their stack, so we leave Tech Stack out and reweight the score across the categories we could measure.
