?Tech StackExcluded: custom build, partial scanWhy excluded

Poppi 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.

Storefront Evidence Score, methodology v1.3: 6 of 7 areas scored; Tech Stack left out (custom build, partial scan) and the rest reweighted.
