# Overview

The **health line** is one line for the whole bundle, which `knowledge-report.sh` computes so that it is not a model's arithmetic. It counts the concepts under eight [trust labels](trust-label.md): confirmed by a person, checked by automation only, nobody has checked, drafts, reopened, past review date, edited since confirmed, and retired. A retired concept is counted once, there. Since 0.45.0 *Drafts* counts the concepts no person has confirmed, and *Reopened* those a person confirmed and a question since put back to `status: draft`. A reopened concept still counts as confirmed, because a question flags a concept and never drops it a rung.

The curator's report opens with the line, and adds one field the script does not compute, *Not tied to a signed commit*, for example:

`Confirmed by a person: 3 of 40 · Checked by automation only: 12 · Nobody has checked: 23 · Drafts: 4 · Reopened: 2 · Past review date: 2 · Edited since confirmed: 1 · Retired: 2 · Not tied to a signed commit: 1`

It is the one number to watch over time: "confirmed by a person: *a* of *N*" rising is the bundle earning trust. It is derived every time and never stored, since the specification keeps scores out of frontmatter. The architecture page says the number is meant to rise slowly, a handful of concepts in a sitting.
